Review: A Wide Spectrum

Sixteen short stories, all of them different from each other except that most are ironic or dark.  My favorite is one called "Worth Watching", because of its central character.  No spoilers in this review, but let's say the story contains an unexpected, fun twist.  Solid work on the Victorian dialects in the opening tale, "Savage Fire", and weird, beautiful prose poetry elsewhere in the volume.  The inclusion of an old-fashioned, hard-boiled detective short story was a pleasant surprise.  Worth buying.
