I was prepared for a lot worse than what I got. There's one mildly gross scene but after that it's just a normal horror story. Very well written. characters drop like flies in a satisfying albeit improbable manner. It's a nice short read for a day at work.

The story dumps a lot of strange setting on you, before completely diverting attention to the small details of character's lives. It's like if you had a story set in a mental hospital, but how or why the characters wound up there becomes completely irrelevant for eighty percent of the book. Then they try to have some characters come in and explain the way that world works, and it tears the plot apart in a sense because the only reason the setting was believable was because of the lack of detail. Now it's obvious to me the story just has a lot of holes. Great read, though. Got me emotional. Ruth is a tsundere and nobody likes her - alright I'm done.

Dread: excellent, the ending is far different from the film, and I was quite pleasantly surprised.

Hell's Race: Meh. Very meh.

Will and Testament: A lovely ode to violence akin to The Wishmaster.

The Skins of the Fathers: Oh yes! So good. The ending should be iconic horror by now.

New Murders of the Rue Morgue: Thoroughly engaging, thought provoking, and fun, even though it's not very horrific.

Intro: psychedelic and gripping

Midnight Meat Train: Meh. The movie was actually better.

The Yattering: A fun dose of comedy and chaos.

Pig Blood Blues: A bit overplayed in its mystery dynamic. Ex cop doesn't fit in trope. Still managed to be fun and disturbing.

Sex, Death, and Starlight: Its whole own little thing. Kinda boring.

In the Hills, the Cities: Oh my God, what an awesome story. Simply incredible.

I found this one contained a few too many ordinary ghost stories, but over all I had a pretty fun time.

More time is spent critiquing other philosophers than composing philosophy, but it's reasonable. Life is an insidious and humorless joke. Let's explore that fact.

Am I missing something? Or is this book boring?

I was very, very excited for this book. It gets a lot of hype. But the first few stories are mediocre weird tales. The narrative then just withers away as story after story pass by - nothing really happening or having anything to do with The King in Yellow. Ian Gordon is one of my favorite narrators ever, so it sucks to dislike this so plainly. The female lines are performed by a woman with a depressing absence of acting skill. The whole thing is a slog that I just can't seem to put the last hour into.

A beautiful and inclusive chain of narratives that loses luster after the first 4 chapters or so, which it fails to regain. As it starts to overstay its welcome, the author's misinterpretations of society are highlighted and the characters become too many to engage with.

Good if you like long, boring stories where only one or two things really happen.

I love the disturbing and depressing. I would even call Let's Go Play at the Adam's a good book. That being said, this book has sections that are depraved and horrendous to a degree that can't be excused in the way we typically excuse literary darkness. The violence goes far beyond murder, but I guess "American Torture Rapist" wouldn't have sold as well. These horrible scenes, however, punctuate a well written, engaging, and ruthlessly laugh-out-loud story, and I absolutely adore the narrator's tone and conveyance.
