The stories are all wonderfully horrific and the narrator is first rate. Some of the stories are better than others, the highlights being; The Thin People, Recognition, No Way Home, The Viaduct and The Pit-Yakker.

Spooky and atmospheric.

Each story has a really dry and self-indulgent intro from the author about it. So rude to just do this without saying anything. Its really arrogant and I don't care about what compelled you to write every single story. if I wanted a biography I'd buy one.

Boring and Dry
