I'm just going to keep starting books forever and never delete them.

This book is great.

Enjoying this in the manner requested by the author in the preface. Missing allusions, skipping footnotes, nevertheless experiencing some aesthetic pleasure.

Everything is on hold.

Got this because I've always liked the Twilight Zone. If you can get along with the fact that basically every story has a twist of some kind, it can be pretty fun reading.

First time with Ligotti for me. Haven't even seen True Detective yet. Some of this is pretty great. While I respect his ability to vary voices and settings; some stories feel like they work much better than others. On the other hand, if they were all like the more effective, maybe they'd be no more effective. Story collections are weird like that. Never read one that was all killer, I don't think.

This is pretty boring, so I'm deleting it. Some human ugliness, no scares, no chills. Fairly effortless style, easy reading. Not enough going on for me to continue.
