Thank you to Cemetery Dance for providing a review copy. 
I'm not sure how Daniel Braum escaped being on my radar for so long, but rest assured, I'm paying attention now. The benchmark for a great short story is this: does it leave me wanting more? Would it keep my interest in a longer format? I can honestly say yes, each of these stories could be novella or novel length and I'd still love to know more.
