I enjoyed the hell out of SOW, the first thing I've read by Tim Curran. True, the material was a lot more robust than my preference - I prefer my horror suggestive - but what won me over was the sheer gaudy delight of the prose. It's kind of Clive Barker in grotesque mode, muddied up for a party. The backstory was traditional, but the front was modern. Neat combo. Overall I'll give this a solid 4 stars. Great fun.
