I enjoyed it. It's weird, because there's virtually no characterization in his work, his narrative structure nearly always hews very closely to the junior high school essay “tell me what you're going to tell me, tell me, tell me what you just told me” paradigm, and the horrifying twists are easy to see coming from miles away, but his writing is atmospheric enough to make up for all that.
