This collection fully brought me back to reading after a four year slump. Very queer in a 1980s kind of way. Contains "the forbidden" which is the short story the candyman film is based on. My favorite story in the collection is "the madonna" which involves an eldritch harem in an abandoned pool? The atmosphere on all the stories is so top tier. Loved it!
