Well, hell yes. The Poe riff and the vampire reboot were both--and yet distinctly, differently--wonderful. This is shaping up to be the one of the best collections I've read since Maureen McHugh or Nathan Englander.

Story one--"How the Day Runs Down"--is a mash-up of Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" and the zombie apocalypse. And it is AMAZING. The wit and care of the pastiche would be sufficient pleasure, but there are moments (as in the play) where the spectacle of death and the fuzzy solace of some salvation (here or hereafter) are superseded by a deep, thoughtful, open-ended grief. Truly an outstanding story.
