Very seldom is every story in a book of short stories good. Extinction Hymns is the exception. Silver Dollar Eyes, The Last Summer and The Last of Her Kind were my absolute favorites. Although I must say that every story was wonderfully written. There isn’t only horror. There is sadness, happiness and uneasiness. The later you get only from a story well told. Kudos to Eric Raglin who can write a story that coaxes you in and takes you places you didn’t know you wanted to be.

This collection is frightfully good. It is disturbing and shocking and well-written. Eric Raglin is a horror titan in the making, you just watch.
