Khaw's writing won't be for everyone. 90% of the time I found it magical and got lost in the sentences dripping with the kind of words and turns of phrase you rarely see in literature anymore (much less horror stories). There were times where it all felt a bit overwritten, and I could've used a break where the language was a bit stripped down, but I think that's down to personal preference.
