Well... He's tried his hand at horror and failed. He's mistaken gore and ick for horror but not really been able to commit to the bit.
Mosley is a mystery writer and I think that he's trying to bring that style of gruesome (murder scenes with dissected bodies) as if it were gore and horror. The worms thing though - it's icky but not a patch on the horror that it can be (or I'm just inured thanks to Brainwyrms...)
And we end this section with a few paragraphs on reproduction attempts and (non-"Blue") women largely reduced to that role and fall ill due to that role with little reflection.
And I dislike all the characters with maybe one exception (a bit character so far) and I'm holding judgement on one just introduced...
But Octavia Butler and Mary Doria Russell have given good quotes?

Horace was dead, of course. He was gone when the Grey Man came, but the pieces of him were still there. like the movie of the man named Frankenstein and the monster of the same name.

Oh, please tell me you didn't?
Oh... They're maybe not all straight. We have a temptress (with her dog) luring men and women out of the main group our PoV character is in - so she's clearly being set up as an evil bisexual female antagonist... Hurray??

Ok... How do you write a book in 1998, set in San Francisco, make all the characters straight, write mindbogglingly dull sex scenes and then throw in some beastiality.
Is Mosley hoping to shock? To disgust? Sorry, but I've read Teen Wolf A/B/O slash fic... Hell, I've read Delany, and Vurt even gave us DogMen didn't it (or did they come later?)
I... Ummm... I may have underestimated: "The middle part - our mission, our individual purpose - is most of the light, almost twelve light-seconds in length." That's four times as long...
@floppyplopper@todon.nl I did have a sneak peek at one after seeing your comment the other week...
