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

3.0

Came to this collection from Glassy Burning Floor of Hell and was not terribly impressed with this one. Like the title implies, the stories here depict worlds, social and material, falling apart at the hands of various monsters and social transgressions (including a high proportion of skin monsters and monster POV stories), but the tropes here don't feel as exciting or original as Glassy. The stories are solidly constructed, some even surprising, but most are fairly expected and unexciting. The weirdness of Glassy is missing here, or maybe it only felt so weird because it was my first Evenson.
