From the eerie dread descending upon a New Orleans dive bartender after a cell phone is left behind in a rollicking bar fight in The Visible Filth to the search for the map of hell in The Butchers Table, Ballingruds beautifully crafted stories are riveting in their quietly terrifying depictions of the murky line between the known and the unknown.
