Reviews with the most likes.
It's a hallmark of good fiction when the stories crop up again and again like curious fish breaking the surface, consistently over a period of years. ‘Sandkings' is still an utter classic; ‘The Monkey Treatment' still fills me with a sense of surreal deja vu; ‘The Pear Shaped Man' still makes my skin crawl. An impressive collection, although it seems only the horrror elements held together in my memory.
