Yet another example of the author's masterful storytelling.
The individual stories wrap together in impeccable ways, each subtly linked to the others until they cumulate in the grand conclusion. Despite being the focus for only a single chapter, each character feels like a real person with a multifaceted personality and connections to the people and places around them that cement them as the kind of people you find in any city apartment. Each of their decent into the supernatural is perfectly paced and tailored to their character, and the final chapter brings them together for an engaging, narratively satifying conclusion.
