Brian Evenson and Creepiness

A few months ago I read the Brian Evenson story Two Brothers. It's a story that leaves you feeling really creeped out, but in a good way. It's impossible to read that story without feeling unsettled. The story resembles reality but Evenson's language creates a vibe of discomfort and left me feeling like I needed to take a long hot shower.
I couple days ago I decided to revisit Evenson's stories by purchasing his book Windeye. After reading the first story in the collection, I was not disappointed. The first story radiates the same creepy feelings created by Two Brothers. As a horror nerd, I am sometimes let down by movies and literature that belong to the horror genre. For every amazing wet-your-pants scary story, there is a lackluster dud that should be erased from existence. Evenson's stories are not lackluster duds that should be erased from existence. I enjoy them so far and will post more updates on stories in the future.
