While each selection was chosen as a featured attraction in the amusement park that is this dark fantasy anthology, the stories are quite diverse, encompassing several subgenres, ranging from urban fantasy to children’s stories, Lovecraftian to body horror, and even a ghostly romance. Like any amusement park, there is something for everyone. There is a narrative about baseball and superstition taken to a terrifying extreme, a mobster ghost story that takes place in a restaurant where the spirit of a mafioso who had been gunned down there haunts a troubled salesman, and a tale that delves into the dark realm of child abuse and how the cycle can be broken, among other chilling yarns.
There are eleven tales of the bizarre and unusual in all.
Enjoy the ride! ( )
