Etchinson undeniably has talent, but reading this collection, I found his style didn't work for me. It felt labored, like he was straining too hard. I feel a writer's style should be almost invisible, leaving no barrier between reader and story. For me, my suspension of disbelief kept being broken because the overwrought writing style kept distracting me, jerking me back out of the fictional worlds. Just my opinion of course.
Remember the old peanut butter cup candy commercial that said "two great tastes that go great together"? Well as much as I hate recalling those old commercials, I can't think of a better analogy to compare the merger of these two small press giants into the entity known as the Horror Mall. I imagine by now that the bandwagon is mighty full from all the lifelong members this combination has brought about. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us...
