Reviews
"There's a sly, tart intelligence at work in many of these stories. . . . The writing is taut, sharp-edged, and very funny." -Globe and Mail
"These stories clearly display King's trademark wit and intelligence, his facility with characterization, and his mastery of narrative art." -The Ottawa Citizen
