Good, If Uneven Collection

However, the final story, The Dark Game really had some bite to it and was quite effective. It was an eye-popping, visceral, and wonderfully structured story. Fortunately, The Dark Game is the longest of the collection and I'm glad they saved the best for last. Here is the full rundown in my opinion... THE WOLF - 2 stars A MADNESS OF STARLINGS - 3 stars THE AMERICAN - 2 stars THE DARK GAME - 4 stars |
