Of Memories Dying is a failure as a horror story. Two men meet in front of a school, drive to a burger joint. One eats a burger. They drive back to the school. One gets out, the other drives off. There is a nebulous hint that something out of the ordinary might happen a few pages after the story has ended. This is not a horror story. This is not even a prologue. This is ... pointless, utterly pointless, and the worst proofread part of the book to boot.
Of Memories Dying appeared on the preliminary ballot for a Nebula Award. Different strokes, different folks, eh?

Wow. This makes me want to read it in its entirety.
Okay, I just went and looked at the review and it seems that he hated almost everything in the book. And from what I read elsewhere at his deal, he hates on a lot of things and seems to be one who loves to turn a caustic phrase.
