Query: Overwritten "High Brow" Emptiness

I've noticed that there are basically two types of horror fiction: stories with easily-readable prose that are mostly concerned with telling the story (Bentley Little, Richard Laymon, Dean Koontz) and stories--mostly written by women, who knows why--that require a lot of effort to decipher due to their so-called literary merits. This collection falls into the latter category. If you stripped each tale down to its basic story elements, you'd be left with almost nothing. Reading these stories was, for me, like doing hard, sweaty labor for minimum wage--it just ain't worth it! I honestly have to wonder how many people read this stuff for enjoyment and how many read it to be part of some "scene". I read all categories of fiction, not just horror, but I can always count on the horror field to produce some of the best examples of awful, overwritten prose. This collection may just be the finest example yet.
