The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All, by Laird Barron (Night Shade Books, 2014) “Hand of Glory” Likely the longest work included in the collection (comes in at about fifty pages so it’s probably more of a novella than a short story). Laird Barron is quite the wordsmith, detailed in descriptive prose to say the least (perhaps overly so), but for the most part I found his character creations loathsome and their story arcs unsatisfying.
