It's like any short story collection, a mixed bag of good and meh. There are a lot of slightly different takes (an interesting mash of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Conan Doyle in The Snowthorn Terror). For me none of the stories really stood out exceptionally as very good but neither did they stand o...
