Summary
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.

Good
I tried this after liking 'The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All' by the same author. This collection was written before that. Sometimes it shows, yet the fierce prose with which Laird Barron writes is present. Probably better to start with that collection if you are new here, otherwise enjoy some really good stories.
Ray Porter is excellent.

One of the best...
This is an excellent audio book, Laird Barron's tales are gritty, dark, horrifying and really, really well written. Ray Parker is perfectly suited to narrating these wonderfully dark and thought provoking stories. His vocal/character range is amazing. Top Notch! 10/10 all round.

This was painful
Rambling, verbose, chaotic and lacking in organization or CONCLUSION. A "story" has a beginning, development and a conclusion. This collection of ... well they aren't essays either, lack any such.
The reader was outstanding. The writing was bloviation run amok. Most, not all, of the stories had no real conclusions that resolved...anything.
I forced myself to ALMOST listen to everything. It was painful. Big words when small would do, CLEARLY for the pleasure of big words. Paragraph after paragraph of escaping gas, leading up to no point at all.

Let me guess... ancient evil.
This is the third Barron book I've read. Two novels and this collection of short stories. He writes well but he's a one trick pony. Every story - and I mean literally every one - is the same as the previous one except with new characters in a different location. Ancient evil in the jungle, ancient evil in the desert, ancient evil in China, ancient evil in a cave, and so it goes on. And on top of that the stories are inconclusive and unsatisfying. Someone encounters an ancient evil in *insert location here* and ends up in a bad way, probably.
The narration by Ray Porter is exceptional.
