It took me a long time to finish these and I'm honestly not a fan. The way he describes the events is just kind of weird to me, it's like I'm reading a medical journal with step by step instructions. It's all very precise and well said, but my mind kept drifting away.

As far as creepy tales go, I much prefer H.P.Lovecraft's descriptions and suspense building.
