A bag of licquorice allsorts for readers of weird tales. A novelette, short stories, flash, and poetry. The title story, "The Beard", is the longest tale, and while not my favourite, it certainly explains the hipster phenomenon... well, that was my take. "Little Bastard" was my pick, somehow combining the atmosphere of Doyle's "The Ring of Thoth" with King's "Christine" and yet standing on its own as a highly original tale. I was particularly creeped out by "Spectre-See", a tale about a writer dead set on getting some words down, "Nature's Way...", a chilling tale about a pregnant woman camping, and "Leaf-Fall", a tale with a twist. There was some dark humour too, and a little naughtiness involving an encounter fuelled by horniness and Tourettes. Weird goodies.
