About this audiobook
This new collection of nine substantial stories includes such masterworks as Technicolor, an ingenious riff on Poe's Masque of the Red Death; How the Day Runs Down, a gripping tale of the undead; and The Shallows, a powerful tale of the Cthulhu Mythos. The capstone to the collection is a previously unpublished novella of supernatural terror, Mother of Stone.

Reviews for The Wide, Carnivorous Sky and Other Monstrous Geographies

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I picked up this book on a recommendation from some place or another - it was billed as a new style of horror, that puts humanity at the base of each story and a different take on traditional horror themes. I found most of the stories overlong. A few standout stories, The Wide Carnivorous Sky being the best. This is the only story that I found truly scary.The last thing - this book is full of typos, including repeated sentences. I found it incredibly distracting, and I don't normally notice typos.
