Was unfamiliar with this author's work before reading this collection. The short stories here are well-crafted. Would recommend.

3.5 stars. I liked some stories, others felt like I was meandering through characters and setting with no reward. Will return to the stories I liked though. Colter makes Chicago stop for a second at least.
