The title story of this collection - a devilishly ironic riff on H. P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model" - was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, while "Probiscus" was nominated for an International Horror Guild award and reprinted in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 19. In addition to his previously published work, this collection contains an original story.

Excellent prose and wonderful storytelling. A true genre as well as literary classic collection for all.

Classic and unforgettable

Very interesting listen but make sure to pay close attention for certain details that make it so much creepier.
I enjoyed it slowly

Creepy but amazing

Some of the stories have lodged in my imagination. The narrator is good and suits the author's hard-boiled characters, although I would say his imitation of female voices made me uncomfortable and comes across as a bit sexist.

Enjoyed it so much that I got it on Kindle aswell

Really weirded and creeped me out in a good, but disgusting way. It's horror, but not the cozy and familiar kind. This collection is like if someone took Lovecraft and made a snuff version out of it. I'm talking Naked Lunch kinda weird. Ray Porter does an awesome job. Can't wait to listen to more of his work.

Disturbing

Some of the stories were laid out well, but the over all story line of the conglomeration of stories was hard to follow, this book will require a couple run through at the very least.
Ray Porter does an excellent job with his narration, no complaints there.

Storyline was a bit hard to follow.
