Yawn,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of the Night: The Best Short Stories by Black Writers, 1967 to the Present (Paperback)
Most of the stories in this book are very boring. Even what'smeant to be interesting such as the story about a lesbian vampirebrothel-owner (i kid you not!)is so overdone that it's positively farcical. I don't have the book to hand at the moment but I remember another story that tried a stream-of-consciousness approach that failed miserably. I felt like I was wading through the stories. Of course there are some good stories from a book boasting contributions from Baldwin and Morrison, but the vast majority are nothing special. Credit must go to the editors who arranged the stories in pertinent sections. Pity they didn't have better material to work with.
