Damn. This is an amazing collection. The stories unwind like the carving of a rotten apple...the writing is some of the best, and each story is like nothing you have ever read before - I promise!

And there is enough blasting humor to cut some of the intense degradation...

A couple of short stories from elsewhere and some continuation of his debut. Good stuff.
