5 Stars
"Anger Asylum": An intrepid protagonist suffused with integrity and character fiber takes employment at the local insane asylum in Anger, New Hampshire. He's compassionate, determined, and he's no slacker. Unfortunately, Anger Asylum hosts an implacable horror and its ever-willing vessel.
"26 Main Street": A remarkable Weird Fiction tale, with overtones of Lovecraftian horror. If the implacability here isn't Cosmic--it should be. Certainly it's inescapable.
"Hall Burial Ground": Of all the bad places in a town that is generally out of joint, the Hall Burial Ground is Anger, New Hampshire's absolute worst--and that's quite an achievement. An extremely unsettling tale; I predict I'm going to have multiple nightmares out of this.
All stories in this volume by Ron Ripley.
