"No-Man's-Land" I would definitely put into folk horror; it's basically "ermahgerd, the Picts." :-P "The Watcher by the Threshold" is an excellent title somewhat wasted, unless (and this is possible) it's somehow an allusion I'm not placed to pick up -- the past in that one is kinda sorta Justinian, in the sense of one character thinks a thing that happened to Justinian is now happening to him. In "The Outgoing of the Tide," it's more witchcraft-oriented. But that same thread of the past laces through the less horror-tinged stories, too; there's a lot of "ah, this is a thing that runs in this family" or "yes, this life-changing supernatural experience you have had also occurred to my husband and my neighbor's cousin and the woman who used to live at the other end of the lane." So yes, I think you would find some of it quite evocative, if you can get past the eye dialect.
