About this listen

Named One of the Best Horror Books of the Year by the New York Times, Esquire, NPR, and Paste!

It's about to get very dark.

Bram Stoker Award-winning author Laird Barron returns to the dark and dreadful with his fifth horror collection, which weaves sixteen weird tales into a mosaic of the bloody and the macabre.

Bring a flashlight and a book of matches.

Where we're going, there's not a speck of light.

Here some observation about this antology:

1) I get Mr. Barron would like to mimic Cormac McCarthy's style while writing his stories, but he has to let go of his delusions: he'll never be him.
Also inserting mysterious and inscrutable elements in a story for the sake of it is not only pointless, but even detrimental to the story.

2) Please, stop trying to create your brand of OC (DO NOT STEAL!) Multiverse, Mr. Barron, you're not Marvel/DC (and, frankly speaking, those type of thing have really overstayed their welcome).
There is no need to continuously drop hint and references to other stories and characters.

3) Bring Ray Porter back as a narrator!

4) We got it, Mr. Barron, you are a real example of male feminist: men are useless while women can do everything better.
Now, do you have something to hide like your colleague Neil Gaiman? We'll be hearing about some kind of scandal involving you, in the near future?

Very disappointing and a waste of money
