The stories in this collection were, overall, well-written. However, they were not all that interesting. And many were long. Too long. Although I did much enjoy one of the longer stories, I can't recommend the collection, it being comprised, if I mentioned, of too many stories being too long and not all that interesting. As a bonus, the book is very long in and of itself, providing ample room for many stories that are too long, and, also, not that interesting.
I was surprised, I can't tell a lie. At first I was not expecting very much from this book, and, indeed, some short stories are extremely boring, but there are others that are extremely awesome, so it levels itself out. A good book.
This book is an anthology of stories about 'tombs', some literal, some figurative. Like all stories collections, this book is good, bad, and indifferent. I skimmed through about one-third of the stories because they didn't interest me at all. Of those I read thoroughly to the end, some were OK, but nothing memorable. A few, however, were so intriguing that I was led to research other books by those authors. So, all in all, this book is a pretty successful anthology.
Tombs, edited by Edward E. Kramer. Hit-and-miss story collection from White Wolf. The hits were worth slogging through the misses, though, and I got this off the deep discount rack at the local game store, so final tally is a win.
