It's not just a shame, but an utter crime that this collection is out of print.
It's easily one of the best single-author short story collections I've ever had the pleasure to read. Many of the stories are interconnected, but the stories themselves...man! There's atmosphere to spare here.
This is small town, down home folk horror—stuff I wish I could write, but I just don't have the background or experience or upbringing—and it should be a genre all its own.
If you can get your hands on this, do it. It's absolutely worth the read. Phenomenal collection.
