“Pamela’s Get” is the most powerful work I have read by David J. Here's what reviwers are saying about LOST ANGELS: Bleak and savage stuff, as good as it gets.his tales themselves range from the brooding to the comical to the poignant. On a purely linguistic level, Schow’s style is as carefully crafted as Lovecraft’s, Robert Aickman’s, or Thomas Ligotti’s, (wielding) a surprising variety of tone and mood.It’s a fine line to tread, but Schow has rarely shown even a wobble’s worth of misstep in developing a style that’s as inimitable as it is distinctive, and pulling it off because each artistic “either/or” is the clear choice of an intellect as sharp as a leather awl. ( CRYPT ORCHIDS) shows an eager propensity to ricochet between the virtuosic and the crass, often within the same paragraph, sometimes the same sentence.Versatile, charming, and fiercely independent, Schow is a master of the contemporary horror story. CRYPT ORCHIDS definitely meets the high standards established by Schow’s previous story collections, such as BLACK LEATHER REQUIRED.Schow is one of the few writers of his generation who can actually makes psychos interesting. A polished, clever, witty, unflinching writer who combines horror and dark humor as well as anyone since the late, great Robert Bloch.
