This is an outstanding collection of weird fiction. The
twenty stories include horror, magical realism, fantasy, and even a steampunk
one. Some are outright fantasy from start to finish; others are so subtle that
it’s like they are our normal world, but someone has pulled it just ever so
slightly out of kilter. My favorite was “Down Atsion
Road”, in which an aging artist is pursued by a
Native American demon. The scariest? “Daddy Longlegs of the Evening”, which
will give anyone with arachnophobia the creeps. Note: the creature is not just
a spider. It’s far, far worse than that.
