A collection of old weird fiction by some of the founders of the genre. To be frank quality of older weird fiction is very hit or miss and I don’t feel the collection was curated well. The author has interspersed his own short stories amongst them make for a rather jarring and unenjoyable experience. He also reads the stories in the audio book version and I found his narration to be competent.

Wow, the Shallows is one of the best short stories I've read in a long time. Not one wasted word. Heart wrenching, and horrifying in equal measure.

Great book so far. John Langan definitely rates as one of my favorite weird fiction short story authors.
