I even have browse the whole lot he has printed (together with a number of anthologies inside which he has solely contributed one story or novella). clearly i favor the man’s writing – sometimes. generally I pan his books nonetheless largely I understand them to be 4 or 5 star reads. Not this one, I am afraid.

The primary story, “Blockade Billy” is, mutually will inform from the quilt and writer’s description, a summer time baseball story concerning the time frame of the game throughout the 1957. It is OK, because of SK might be a pleasant creator, nonetheless the story itself is, effectively, terribly dissatisfactory.

There’s nothing concerning it that is “haunting”, and in addition the again cowl implies a “secret” concerning the “biggest participant the game has ever seen”.
