3.5 stars for this collection of horrifying stories. I appreciate the detail Langan puts into his stories, but as a result some of the inner monologues and dialogue felt unnaturally flowery; there was a lot more telling than showing, which is not a style to which I'm accustomed. Admittedly, I could have put more work and concentration into my reading after realizing how dense the stories are.

I think it's because of this writing style that I most enjoyed the two longest stories--Sefira and At Home in the House of the Devil.
