Review title: Not nearly as good as De Lint's usual
Product review: This collection of short stories just doesn't compare to what Mr. De Lint is capable of. There are a handful of decent stories here, but no gems, and quite a bit of forgettable fare. Unless you're a truly serious fan of his, don't buy this. To know what he can do, check out Trader or Someplace to be Flying for longer fiction, or Dreams Underfoot for better short stories. Just stay clear of this book as a starter.
