Surreal nightmares of rural life and the lies and justifications we tell ourselves. Walks Among You was my personal favorite.

Very interesting stories. Quite a few were really intriguing, a few less so, the title one was definitely odd. Overall I enjoyed the dread atmosphere but would have liked to read expanded versions of a few.

This was a really great anthology horror series with more hits than misses for me. With Fogtown, Return to the Midnight School, The Amber Complex and The Black Maybe being my favorites.

A collection of strange and unsettling tales. The slight connection between some of the stories was a nice touch - not too much connection to become corny. I most enjoyed Multiplied by Zero (and its details on the religion described) and The Amber Complex.
