This is, I think, only available in audiobook, but it's fairly short, a bit over 3 hours, and contains 5 short stories. Two are available individually, one is set in the world of one of Maberry's series, but stands just fine alone, and one was written especially for this production. The other is a "true" local folktale from Maberry's neck of the woods, related via a Holmes pastiche - this is the only one that didn't really work for me.

For a short story collection, even a short one, an 80% hit rate is exceptional.

More detail @ Booklikes if you are so inclined

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.
