Hirshberg writes generally strong, atmospheric dread. These are pretty consistently strong stories, but none broke out to beat me down as did "The Two Sams" in his last collection. It's kind of unfair, that I now deploy one of the best horror stories I've read in some time to measure his other work as somehow smaller, or less engaging. But for newbies, and horror fans uninterested in the splatter or punk ends of the genre--you really cannot go wrong with Hirshberg.
