Surprisingly Good

I've read a number of Muller/Pronzini edited story collections. Most were very good. All were mystery stories. This one is a collection of Western tales. Most are the usual length, but the last one, "The Hanging Tree" by Dorothy M. Johnson is a 100 page novella (of the 372 pages in the book). It's also a terrific story as are most of the others in the book. I don't usually read westerns, but I like Muller/Pronzini books so I read this one too. I'm glad I did. You don't have to be a fan of westerns to enjoy a good yarn. The editors have wonderful taste in stories. They precede each one with a short vignette about the author. I like to write down the authors of the tales I enjoyed most and see if I can find their novels too (the editors usually include the best titles in the vignettes). I find this quite useful. Also included is Marcia Muller's "Sweet Cactus Wine" which is a fine story as well. If you like a good story, this is a wonderful place to find them. Enjoy!
