Relentlessly readable, highly atmospheric, sharply and often arrestingly written—Barron’s prose style resembles, by turns, a high-flown Jim Thompson mixed with a pulp Barry Hannah—and situated in a dizzying assortment of precision-built worlds, Barron’s productions (30 pages on average) more nearly resemble novellas than tales.

The title in of itself is a draw... and the cover too!
Small world, just bought "The light is the darkness" last night on my....er...um..kindle
An intriguing title for a collection. BTW, I didn't see a link to Laird's blog on the sidebar (might just be my aging eyes), so here it is:

Colin, thanks! That's also a reminder for me to freshen this place up a bit over the weekend! Been a while!
That cover is stunning!
