Several readable stories, a few drab pieces, some over-sensational works, some stories bordering parodies, and one jewel. That's how this book has to be summarised. Overall, I liked the book. But it would be the lone jewel that I would like to rediscover, preferably in a single-author collection.
That story was Sam Wiebe's "The Glennon Falls".
The rest were mostly commonplace.
