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
