A dazzling diversity of characters in stories set in numerous Caribbean locations. Beautifully written. As in any collection of stories, some are stronger than others, but the characters' voices are amazing.

Ron Rash is a wonderful writer. This collection didn't grab me quite as strongly as Chemistry and Other Stories , but I always enjoy his short stories.

When I read an anthology of short stories, I don't expect to like them all. This collection had more than its share of stories that held my attention, from Gaiman's quest/revenge story "The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains" to Walter Mosley's vampire tale "Juvenal Nyx" (I wouldn't be surprised to see this one developed into a novel) to Diana Wynne Jones' amusing "Samantha's Diary" to the stark Joe Lansdale stork, "The Stars Are Falling." Not bad at all.

I know that many people love this collection and I agree that it is very well written, but it was seriously grim. Full of abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and tragedy. Just not a book for me.

Like most topical collections, this collection of noir short stories set in New Orleans was inconsistent in quality. The book is divided into pre-Katrina and post-Katrina sections, and I generally found the post-Katrina stories to be the superior ones. There are enough good stories here to make this book a worthwhile read.
