Fine writing, quite, but with the occasional plot and a much more cheerful tone. Ha!
bickleyhouse's review against another edition
5.0
This was my first venture into James P. Blaylock's writing. I've been wanting to read some of his work, but usually only see it on Subterranean Press's site, which is prohibitively expensive. Anyway, I also love short stories, so this book was double good. Maybe even "double-plus good."
This was a charming set of short stories, starting out with the title story, which involved some time continuum issues.
There were several Langdon St. Ives stories, which I found very satisfying. I really want to get my hands on some more of those stories. One of those involved a very disturbing account of some jewels that made up the eyes of an idol, deep in a jungle somewhere. Only the "idol" turned out to be something more.
I recommend this book highly. I plan to find some more Blaylock soon.
