Not giving this one a rating as I feel it just didn't hit the particular flavor of horror I enjoy. I feel like I missed something with this one, as I've read comments online praising how terrifying it is. I'll return to it once I finish the rest of the collection, but to me it's just a King-esque abduction of a child, not much else (?)

I checked this collection out from my library and now I think I'll need to buy this myself to really dissect these stories. It's hard to tell how much I need to read between the lines of Ligotti's stories. With this one, it could be about the fear of irrevelancy, death, and/or the loop we get stuck in going through the motions until we're trapped with an "untidiness" like Alice

I enjoyed this one much more than The Frolic. A classic cult/eldritch story, with an interesting parallel to incels. The plot of this one unfolds pretty predictably, but it's fun experiencing the build up and break down of obsessive romantic possession.
