4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Bemusing Reading, October 27, 2009
The stories (and one novella) are set in and around Finney's invented township of Manacle, Arizona.

Finney covers such topics as a local manifestation of the "Black Dog" motif familiar in England's folklore; the bizarre offspring of a Gila Monster and a shrike; a curse on good-deed-doers; and a quest for buried treasure, wherein just about every character is related, and very few don;t want to kill each other.

Finney's craft is such that the possible preciousness of his style is outweighed by his creativity and good humor. These are fun stories to be read with one eyebrow cocked, for they were doubtless written tongue-in-cheek.

The cover blurb of the 1964 paperback is "The damndest book you ever read." I might not go THAT far, but it's a fun read, and comes from a guy whose creative net stretches across the Arizona horizon.
