This is one of my most favorite books. I think about the stories contained within this edition often. It's almost as if Caitlin R.Kiernan was possessed by lonely but omnipotent spirits when she was writing this. Jimmy DeSade and Salmagundi are fascinating characters that are woven in and out of this collection like lethal, dark threads.

An unremittingly bleak collection of short stories but worth reading.
Kiernan's prose is beautiful, and she's a master at leaving the reader wondering if anything supernatural has really occurred.

Pretty intense, perverse and gruesome...if that's what you're into, to quote Flight of the Conchords.
