He can phrase something so skillfully that I have to stop and laugh, or reread, or shiver. 1. Cowboys around a fire, pondering an unpleasant reality, from the story Luck: They passed the bottle and moments passed silent and sullen as kicked dogs... 2. This is my long dark night of the soul?...
While this is a decent collection of stories, it is not stellar. I truly do not understand all the fives nor do I get the Bram Stoker. The stories all start out with such promise but then end with a WTF ending. I generally enjoy a little more clarity in my literature.
