"It reads RAW butter smooth, very enjoyable. Having never read pulp, as someone new to this kind of writing, I actually fell in love with the short blood-pumping short stories. Character development is on point and interesting; it feels organic. My favorite story must be Lawman Lou - it had me hooked all the way and I was transported into that land for some minutes as long as I read it. Damn good short book in my honest opinion."
