After reading The Haunting of Hill House I couldn’t stop thinking of the style of writing. It's slightly joking and darkly human. I loved the book so when I saw this one, I had to try it. Almost all of the stories in this collection are good but there are few standouts to me.

  • Funeral Birds by M. Rickert
  • For Sale by Owner by Elizabeth Hand
  • In the Deep Woods; The Light is Different There by Seanan McGuire
  • Money of the Dead by Karen Heuler
  • Hag by Benjamin Percy
  • Skinder's Veil by Kelly Link

The four bolded stories are my favourites of the standouts. Even if you aren’t interested in Jackson’s style these are worth the read. I am a little overloaded with book holds but when I am free again, I will definitely make the effort to find books by authors in this book.
