of the three stories in this book, the titular Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke is far and away my favorite. the final, You'll Find It's Like That All Over, was also very good. the middle, The Enchantment, was not bad but meandered a bit much for my taste I think, without necessarily using that time to build tension. all in all I definitely enjoyed my first experience with LaRocca's work and look forward to the next thing of theirs I read
