Oh boy this one is becoming a slog and a chore I frequently become distracted while reading it. It's the same story, the same tone, the same style throughout much of it. Some of the stories are Ligotti LARPing as Poe or Cthulu man. Sometimes interesting ideas begin to surface, a sense of humor discerned but it fades rather quickly like brief rainbows forming under sullen grey skies.

slow going in the beginning, the writing style is kind of obtuse. Really started enjoying myself as the stories progressed, especially the nice twisty one about how to write a horror story turning into an actual horror story.
