Revisiting the world of Timothy Underhill, the Two Mikes wrangle with Peter Straub's stories within stories and stories outside of stories. We finally find a metanovel we like (but still insist on making rude noises at the back of the classroom).
It's Cocktail Time!
pour if full of Rowan's Creek whisky.
There, wasn't that easy?

While mentioning he's an unreliable narrator, you didn't mention whether Tim Underhill (I do like that name) writes with the plain-vanilla, slow-to-acknowledge-paranormal-explanations voice that so irked me in Lost Boy, Lost Girl.
The guy's had traumatizing and supernatural experiences in Viet Nam; he should be seeing spooks everywhere and be as unhinged as a Thomas Ligotti narrator.
I think you can let Straub be, unless you hear he produces something surprising.
Pretty funny recording glitch! You should have made a White Noise joke.
Still want you to give a shot at Three Days to Never.
Seeing that you are going back to Ramsey Campbell, I would hartely recomnd you look at "The Face that Must Die." A book that manages to bee creepy without a drop of blood being spilt.
I also really enjoyed The Grin of the Dark. Lots of suggestive surreal weirdness and wordplay.
