About this listen

This book won a World Fantasy Award. It's remarkable: The stories are rich, fascinating stuff - creepy and unsettling and phantasmic. Imagine what Tolkien's Lord of the Rings would have been like if Tolkien had tried to tell that story sympathetically from the point of view of the human denizens of Mordor and you'll have the slightest sense of what you're about to wade into... but only just a sense.

These stories will make the same demands on you that they made on Brian: They will command and compel you, and fill you full of terrible wonder. And when you've finished them, you'll find yourself wanting more.

Underrated and relatively unknown

An interesting take on the classic ghoul. McNaughton was great at throwing in little off-kilter details here and there that made the world seem alien, weird, and enjoyable (one guy is from some ethnicity descended from sharks; it's just mentioned and that's it!)
Quite graphic but not in too much of a way that I'd recommend against it. It doesn't have too much misanthropic cruelty or nihilistic self-indulgence that tends to sour lots of people on horror and fantasy. Pretty sure I heard about this book in an article somewhere and decided to check it out, glad I did.
