HAJ, "The Feathered Shroud": somewhat sorrowful reading again a Jones and Hanuvar tale. This tale is filled with curiosity and deftly displays many aspects of Jones' greatest hero. Once more, man is more monstrous than the fantastic creature, who is beautiful in its ethereal power. This is a fortuitous tale in the Hanuvar saga.

Long, "Guilty Creatures": best F&GM story I've read in a long while. Humorous without being labored or overdone as so many of Leiber's stories are. Great subterfuge, cunning action and misdirection, and excellent emotional appeal - I especially feel sorry for the deceased sorcerer who should have received his justice. Fun storytelling.

Hocking, "Calicask's Woman": perhaps my favorite Benhus story, as he's not a prick in this one. Great premise, fun plot, nicely employed magics. Poor Benhus used up a great toy though, and has to find someone new to help him identify the others.
