“I bought this collection back when I was planning the Horror Lit class, on the suggeston of one of my students, and only lately have gotten around to reading it. It's good. Quite creepy. What's interesting to me about the collection is that though Ligotti is a contemporary author (the oldest publication date in the volume is 1998), the collection reads, except for occasional details, as if it had been written at the end of the 19th century. Has a decorum to it that's unusual these days.”
