Yes, my advance praise for this book shows up above. It's no secret that I am a fan of Page's writing and this collection did not disappoint.
For me, the Globster story and The Hand are the standouts. They're both really good and creepy, and Globster could have been a lost Lovecraft story, to be honest.
I will admit I wasn't sure about Boondoggle initially, but I quite enjoyed it by the end. But Nocturnium? That one kicks serious butt, and it's a fantastic way to end it. And I really want to read the full novel (you listening, Mr. Page?)
I enjoyed this strange, bizarre, brilliant collection immensely.
