I'm giving this book four stars because a few of the stories are really something special, although the collection as a whole probably deserves only three stars. But three stars would have been a disservice to the stories that I really liked, such as "Desire with Digressions," "Fugue State," "Ninety over Ninety," "The Third Factor," and "The Adjudicator." Most of the other stories in the book are enjoyable, so it's worth checking out. Evenson's writing is cold, brutal, and powerful, and these stories run the gamut of insane narrators, peculiar situations, and cruel, desolate worlds where people must do unspeakable things to survive.
