*ARC exchanged for an honest review via NetGalley* LaRocca is unspeakably perfect in this collection. These stories are "I have to put this down and walk way for an hour or two" kind of perfect. He is one of the few authors I have encountered that truly knows how to make you squirm and fill you with a real, physical sense of dread. LaRocca is, with no doubt in my mind, one of the most effective horror authors being published today. This book is a testament to all the praise he has and I am beyond excited to see where his journey takes him next.
