The last handful of stories have been excellent. The uncanniness, the horror, the poetic style, and the deeply empathetic treatment of characters all come together in astounding ways. Looking forward to the rest.

Nearing the end now... While I have mixed feelings about the "new" stories, this collection also contains some of Haynes' best (both stories I've read before and ones I've just discovered here). A pretty worthwhile read overall, I'd say.

Much of the newer (new to me) stories in this collection are missing the skillful command of language and unabashed morbidity that made Haynes' "Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch" collection so gripping. These are written in a more casual, colloquial way, which is not to say the style is ineffective, but it does tend to be less impactful. Still, my overall experience has been more positive than negative.
