After a brief disappointment that all of the stories aren't about Joe Pickett or Nate Romanowski, I enjoyed a hugely varied collection of suspenseful and surprising tales. In just a few pages, the author takes the reader to other centuries, other continents, and into the twisted minds of some very unusual characters. In general these stories were a good bit darker than Box's usual novels. Short stories usually aren't my cuppa tea, as I prefer more character depth and plot complexity, but Box did a great job of highlighting one or two very human characteristics in each of his main characters, which sustained my interest without a lot of background development.
