Song for the Unraveling of the World: Stories by Brian Evenson

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

Evenson is great at building suspense. The stories in this collection range from futuristic to paranormal, but they are never overwritten and most manage to come in under 15 pages. The stories are succinct yet never vague enough to be confusing. The prose is purposeful, and you can tell Evenson spends a lot of time crafting the perfect openings that effectively create intrigue and set tone.

Some of my favorite stories were: “The Second Door”, “Sisters”, “No Matter Which Way We Turned”, and “The Hole”.

I liked this a lot! I highly recommend it to fans of weird fiction and horror. Definitely a new favorite collection.
