Mack Leonard. 2015 James White Award Winner: : Midnight Funk Association
Something is messing up the music in Detroit city, giving a bad vibe, and Bunchness is the dude to sort it out. Heavy on the dialogue, but a story that does not leap out as one by an unpublished writer.
Conclusion
A reasonable collection of stories, but nothing to really write home about.
