I have a print copy of this one waiting to be read. Barron is really good, perhaps the finest contemporary writer in the Lovecraftian tradition.
Other new horror deals include Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box and H. P. Lovecraft's Book of the Supernatural for $2.99 each. The former has been discounted several times, so you may already have it. |
I've been avoiding this thread purely because I've hated nearly all of the books offered here, and once you buy a book on Amazon, it seems to haunt your preferences, cloud storage and everything else no matter how quickly or often you delete it.
That said, Ellen Datlow's a huge fan of Laird Barron's, and she
tends not to like work that's truly bad, so I feel inclined to try at least one of his books despite the fact he can be a pain to deal with in real life. I
never believe in holding an author's personality against their work.
So thanks for this, Brendon. I'll buy it and have a quick look.
