Mixed bag with a couple of standouts, but nothing as good as the one short story I read years ago that made me want to buy this collection when I saw it. I did notice it’s a collection of his early work, so may be that the later stuff is the best

Another uneven collection. His good stuff is really good and his bad stuff is bad. This one was probably 70% to the bad, unfortunately....
