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.
It was hit, hit, miss, miss, and miss again for me. The 1st story had me thinking "WTF!", that was cold, some others were good, but need to be longer. More often than naught, I wanted to skim (which I did).
