If you like the genre, you'll love Landon Connors and the entourage of standing characters in Bob Freeman's imaginarium. The tales in this volume range from the classic noir detective yarn with Connors at the center, to horror stories set in rural places like those of the author's youth.
There are a few rough spots that could have been caught in editing and proofing, but not enough to lop off a star from a book that ended too quickly.
This is a really cool book that intertwines different stories together to make one awesome compilation. I enjoyed the stories as well as the narration of the audiobook. I won't leave spoilers, but know that this book is one you'll enjoy!
