Review: The Jaguar Hunter

User Review  - Kurt Newton - Goodreads

If you haven't read Lucius Shepard, this is a great place to start. Shepard excels in the novelette and novella length. I read most of these stories when they were first published in Asimov's and F&SF magazine. Amazing writer. Read full review

I have been known to open this book at random and real aloud whatever sentence my eyes fall upon; always, I find something gorgeous, evocative, rich , and powerful.
