No actual Horror to be found, and every story reads like a fragment from a novel, with no context. After giving him a few different days in court, I've concluded that Etchison is just not for me.

I know Etchison is supposed to be the horror author's horror author, but I've never been able to get his stuff.

More short stories that sort of made since and others didn't. None the least bit horrifying.
