Some are epic in scale while others are very intimate, showing an amazing versatility of style. Each however, is very different, which makes this such a unique volume to read and enjoy. Kind of a \u201cWhitman&#8217;s Sampler\u201d of his twisted universes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This compilation is like a bag of Bertie Botts, there is a taste there for virtually everyone, tho, the guarantee is that you will bite into one or two that may cause an unpleasant reaction\u2026.to which I will snigger and say\u2026\u201dtoo bad, that was the price of admission.\u201d.
