About This Item
[Sauk City]: Arkham House Publishers, Inc., [1991]. First edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. (16740). Octavo, cloth. Collects fourteen stories including "The Scalehunter's Beautiful Daughter" and the creepy "Delta Sly Honey," a "haunting tale of a ghost platoon that hunts its one surviving member in the jungles of Vietnam." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 6-329. "Another bumper volume of SF, fantasy and horror from this stylish writer. As in his earlier THE JAGUAR HUNTER, several of the fourteen stories involve war, in Vietnam or Central America. Also here is 'The Scalehunter's Beautiful Daughter,' and outstanding fantasy novella which saw separate publication as a slim book in 1988. Shepard belongs more to horror and fantasy than SF, but he's too good for SF readers to miss." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 121. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1000.
