“We don’t judge a man by the blood he was borned
with. We measure him by the blood he’s got in his veins now, ‘cause we figure
he made it whatever it is—good or bad.”-Caddo Cameron “Gunman’s Christmas”
One for the
season. Veteran anthologists Bill Pronzini and Martin H. Greenberg give us a
dozen holiday themed stories and three yule poems from S. Omar Barker.
It is mainly
even reading, with Jack Schaefer’s “Stubby Pringle’s Christmas” capping it all
off nicely.
Of the dozen
stories the brief tale “Winter Harvest” by John Prescott stands tall.
I can think
of worse ways to spend a season’s evening than to dip into this volume
