A Deep Horror That Was Very Nearly Awe by J.R. Hamantaschen
5.0
4.5 to 5 stars.
This took me a while to read, but not because I was ever bored. I just felt that there was a lot to unpack. These are involved, subtle stories about natural characters encountering the sublime, the awe-inspiring... the horrific. You've met these characters (Hell, you might have even acted like them at a certain point in your life), so when the anvil drops, so does your stomach. Just a really well-done collection that reminded me flavors of John Langan for the depth of feeling and Stephen Graham Jones for natural dialogue and cosmic weirdness.
