I've always enjoyed Maberry's work, although so far I've only read a couple of the Joe Ledger books, and one of the Benny Imuras. This has once again really encouraged me to a) finish the Joe Ledger series and b) Check out Pine Deep.
As an intro to Maberry's writing, this is a pretty good one. There's a bit of variety here, you don't need any knowledge of the series going in, even the one story set broadly in the same setting as one, and for the most part, the stories are satisfyingly creepy and dark without tipping over into slash and gore.
