5.0

I give this book a 4.5. Of course like and book of short stories, some stories are better than others but in this book there were only a few stories that I had to push through. For the most part I enjoyed all of them. The stories included range from past, present and future settings. My favorite stories in this book are:
The Glass Bottle Trick
'Cause Harlem Needs Heroes*
Whipping Boy
Aftermoon*
BLACKout
Trance
Those with stars I would LOVE to see expanded into novels.

I've read a handful of short story collections now, mostly all by one author, but of the short story collections I've read this by far was one of the best.
