The stories I read weren‰ЫЄt all that enthralling (read: wanky), intermediate bits were boring as bat-shit.

One of the best things I've read so far this year.
BLURRING THE LINE is satisfying in any number of ways--the illustrations are excellent, and the interjections of nonfiction alongside the stories had (and still have) me doing my own research on the side.
The stories are so varied, yet so well-rendered, that it's difficult to attempt giving attention to all of them (though I will say my personal favorites are Tim Lebbon's CLOWN'S KISS; Kealan Patrick Burke's HOARDER; Paul Mannering's SALT ON THE TONGUE; and Rena Mason's NITA KULA). This is not a book of generic "scary" stories--these tales inspire dread. You'll look twice at your neighbors, your kids, your coworkers, your reflection. This is the stuff of which nightmares are made, stories which cut close to the bone and get under your skin and stay with you well after you finish.
