Resumen del Editor

Over the course of two award-winning collections and a critically acclaimed novel, The Croning, Laird Barron has arisen as one of the strongest and most original literary voices in modern horror and the dark fantastic. Melding supernatural horror with hardboiled noir, espionage, and a scientific backbone, Barron's stories have garnered critical acclaim and have been reprinted in numerous year's best anthologies and nominated for multiple awards, including the Crawford, International Horror Guild, Shirley Jackson, Theodore Sturgeon, and World Fantasy awards. Barron returns with his third collection, The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All. Collecting interlinking tales of sublime cosmic horror, including "Blackwood's Baby", "The Carrion Gods in Their Heaven", and "The Men from Porlock", The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All delivers enough spine-chilling horror to satisfy even the most jaded reader.

Laird Barron and Ray Porter are truly awesome.

If you enjoy horror and creativity, get everything that these two people have touched.

I have no regrets.

I can't believe I put it down

This book was disturbing, gut-wrenching, and outright psychotic from the first to last word. Every time I hit play it was as though I was walking to see another car crash on the side of the road. I couldn't put it down, and I can't seem to forget. I recommend it to everyone who wants a different kind of experience with their dark side. I loved The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All.

Stunningly Dark, Fantastical, Ascendent Horror

so this is true horror. amazing. I loved these stories. many of them were mind-blowing

lighted!? why not lit?!

it was really good set of stories! but man... they kept using lighted when lit would have been a much better fit. that's all really.

don't listen in the dark.

not beautiful. horrifying. each story was creepy as all get out. barely finished it!

True horror for horror lovers

I love Barren’s work and he will no doubt go down in history as one of literature’s masters of the genre alongside Poe, Jackson , King, Straub, Evenson, and Files.

Lush and Dark

Every story is completely immersive, with strong characterization and rich settings. The velvet spiral into the dark recesses of horror is rarely so fine.

Barron incites sensational, creeping thrills.

The delivery of these stories lends efficacy to the almost real, weird worlds that have crept into my daydreams. It was fun, humorous, frightening, and pacifying for an hour here and there when the listener has time.

Wow!

My only regret is listening to these stories right before hunting alone in the woods. One story was a miss for me but that was a small hiccup, the rest were phenomenal. Great story teller. Look froward to reading more from him.

Excellent/Impessive

This is what happens when you have well written stories by an author who knows how to weave magic with the written word. Add a gifted narrator, and sift together with excellent editing and sound (recording).....You get an enjoyable experience that I would of not minded paying for, but for the icing on the cake, got for free from the new catalogue. Not simplistic, juvenile, simple, superficial, boring fluff here, but material obviously done with some majority talented people. Separate individual stories that are perfect to start and finish in the time frame of a set of exercises or a chore.....not really gory or gross horror but a super natural theme thru out. I enjoyed this book,a lot.
