"Lay" is a verb that cannot be used intransitively. Until Mr Williams learns this, he is on my black list.
It's a pity, because the stories are original and horrifying, and in the main very well done, but if there is one thing more than anything else that I find offensive, it is illiteracy in published work. It demonstrates a contempt for the reader that goes poorly with a desire to acquire the reader's money.
