dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This, along with Barron's other great collections, establish him as a vigorous and vicious writer of exceptional horror. It's a cold collection; almost too cold at times, and Barron's tics sometimes make you roll your eyes, but overall, every character's descent feels imaginable and comprehensive. Lovely.
