An enjoyable read. There are a lot of great stories in here and Neil Gaiman does an excellent job of telling them. Before I knew it, I had stayed up most of the night reading because the stories were that interesting.

The Blood of Four Gods and Other Stories by Jamie Lackey
The Blood of Four Gods and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Jamie Lackey, with a strong Asian/Native American theme. None of the stories are guaranteed a HAE, and in fact, I would say at least half have their own particular ending. These stories are all very vivid when you read them, which is excellent - Jamie Lackey's descriptive voice is in full flow. However, some of them are not so 'nice' to read, and so the descriptions can make you swallow slightly as you read them. Some only seem like snippets, and I would love to know more about the characters and the worlds in which they live.

With no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, I thoroughly enjoyed each of these stories. With smooth pacing, well rounded characters, and with individual stories for each and every one, this is a wonderful collection of stories, sure to delight. Absolutely recommended by me.

IDW has a great art team working on this title. BUT retelling classic Trek stories with slight twists to represent the new time line is lazy writing and quite frankly, boring. The best ones in the book stray far from the source material or are new stories to begin with. The same problem I have with the movies actually. Tell me new stories with this crew. Leave the prime universe alone.

Excellent collection of varying stories. (0 more)
Excellent early stories from the Triffid author
Excellent collection of early short stories from Wyndham that delve into different sci-fi genres. Though it was written in 1930 through to 1938 they are still suprisingly fresh and interesting.
They are a powerhouse of excellent literature and is a great introduction to his later novels such as Day of the Triffids, The Midwich Cuckoos and Chocky.
