The Jaguar Hunter - Lucius Shepard

An outstanding collection. Not an ordinary story to be found in this bunch.
In fact, so good, it almost average 4, coming in at 3.95, just a mere half a point shy which reading another story another day it quite possibly could get.

Anyway, great stuff. A mixture of SF and fantasy/horror, lots of which is set in locations most people won't get to, and is definitely part of the appeal of Shepard stories, from the hard-edge grim soldiering of R&R to the seacoast supernatural How the Wind Spoke at Madaket.
