This is a really enjoyable collection of stories from a guy I used to read religiously as a kid. Though I thought "Herbert Hutchison in the Underworld" felt out of place and a little too mature compared to the other stories, I enjoyed each story. My favorite was absolutely "The Boy with Silver Eyes"...
