After all that above, I already highlighted the first sentence of the next story. I hope the rest of it is as compelling.

I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

“The Surviving Child” by Joyce Carol Oates
I had to stop. I'm not a big fan of gothic horror much anyway, but this one just drags. However, next year when you finish this and say it gets great, I'll give it another go.

“A Shade of Dusk,” by Indrapramit Das
I'm by no means finished with this, I just wanted to let Shiki see the notification of guilt.
That said, this is another long one like Joyce Carol Oats', but this one is really good so far. I'm about 1/3 of the way through I guess and while nothing spooky has happened, it is bringing a sense of dread which is pretty impressive.
I also really like how it's using Indian terms and not bothering to explain them. The Kindle dictionary is coming in real handy. I don't know if anyone reading this has read any of Gabino Iglesias' work, but he does something similar. When Spanish people are 'talking', he doesn't translate. Fuck you, that's why. I don't mind that. I can either get it via context or I just highlight the words and it translates.
I think this is a great story on why people need to read outside of their comfort zone. This author is brining a lot of Indian culture in this, and it's pretty interesting.
