Many of the stories seemed familiar as I read this book.  Then I realized that this was a collection of Mr. Rowan's stories previously printed elsewhere.  I had read several of them in those publications.  He gives a rather dark view of human nature, but adds a few surprising flashes of courage and generosity.  I enjoyed the book, but found I got a bit depressed if I read too much at once.  His characterization is excellent and he has a knack for putting a twist in the ending that had me chuckling and shaking my head at times.
