Breen's tone is on display in this collection of a few brief short stories, not any particular character or even any particular horror; the casual dryness of the tourist guide melds with the twisted surreality of the monstrous. When it works, it works marvelously, you laugh as your skin crawls. When it doesn't work it just seems smug. Still, there really isn't enough Breen in the world so every little bit you can get, you should get.
