There are some stories here, like El Santero, Magna Mater and A Drop of Ruby that are good -very, very good. Others, like Burning Names and In his Wake did not personally appeal to me as much as some of the others. I would characterize the individual efforts as a bit uneven, but the volume overall as definitely worth a read, and Goodfellow as an author to follow, read & re-read. ( )
