Why read it?

1 author picked The Wide, Carnivorous Sky and Other Monstrous Geographies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A profoundly, gratifying dark read. With such a sublime and unwavering collection, Langan rises in my book as one of the most fascinating in the contemporary, horror writer circle.
