It all feels a bit slapdash. British Library has so far put out 54 ‘Tales of the Weird’ and another 14 ‘Hardback Classics’ in the same vein. And Handheld Press have several weird titles that unearthed new stuff with little overlap on British Library.

The rest do, as you say, seem half-hearted choices. The lack of introduction to give ‘weird’ context to lay readers and also the copyright page doesn’t say when first published. Just look like 2024 releases.
They’re releasing one a month now and have a subscription service, which comes with some ephemera. Second only in numbers to their Crime Classics series, and that had a major headstart.
In addition, there’s an event this Saturday.
