Karl Edward Wagner (1945-1994) has earned a reputation as one of the finest horror writers of the modern era, but his work has been out of print and nearly unobtainable for many years. His seminal volume In a Lonely Place collects eight of his best tales, including "In the Pines," a classic ghost story evocatively set in the Tennessee woods, "Beyond Any Measure," an original take on the vampire story.

Masterful Narration & Great Stories
Revisado: 10-27-23
I would categorize most of these stories as "slow burn," but primarily because of the growing complexity and proportional satisfaction of reading them. The classic "descent into madness" depicted in some of these stories is done so well - In a Lonely Place is an easy recommendation.
The narrator was fantastic, too! Great use of contrasting tone and accents made for an engaging listening experience.

Over the course of two award-winning collections and a critically acclaimed novel, The Croning, Laird Barron has arisen as one of the strongest and most original literary voices in modern horror and the dark fantastic. Melding supernatural horror with hardboiled noir, espionage, and a scientific backbone, Barron's stories have garnered critical acclaim and have been reprinted in numerous year's best anthologies and nominated for multiple awards, including the Crawford, International Horror Guild, Shirley Jackson, Theodore Sturgeon, and World Fantasy awards.

More Excellent Horror to Bask In
Revisado: 01-13-21
I'm going to use my review for "The Imago Sequence," as I really do feel the same way about this collection. If you want a recommendation between the two, I'd probably say "The Imago Sequence" is a better place to start.
Love Laird Barron's work, and Ray Porter brings it to life expertly. Barron's horror generally "seeps in." It's not a-mile-a-minute fare, if that's what you're after, but I find it immensely enjoyable. Barron sets a tone and relentlessly draws you into it.
Likewise, Ray Porter just seems to "click" with Barron's tone. His varying voices for each character give them all unique personalities and characteristics that both accentuate and add to Barron's work in a way that just feels... perfect.
I easily recommend this and The Imago Sequence short story collection to anyone looking for this type of horror experience (I think "slow burn" does it a disservice, but it's certainly not the opposite).

The title story of this collection - a devilishly ironic riff on H. P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model" - was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, while "Probiscus" was nominated for an International Horror Guild award and reprinted in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 19. In addition to his previously published work, this collection contains an original story.
