J.C. T. reviewed on 12/15/2008

Another good one. Stories in this volume include some of Barker's more interesting and well-known works. Rides into darkness and absurdity, with his signature touch for adding sexuality and gritty human nature seamlessly in fantastic horror. A good read if you like his previous works, not as tame as King, not as wordy as Koontz, a blend of visceral, graphic horror and chilling, though no one story will leave the lights on. Well told tales, sparks of violence, sex, dark comedy, and literary sense woven in a dark web.
