This is the third story in The Night Walk Men series or universe (however you'd like to label it) that I've read. The others being [b:The Night Walk Men|9113192|The Night Walk Men (a Night Walk Men novella)|Jason McIntyre|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1349974426s/9113192.jpg|13991698] and [b:Kro|15709605|Kro (a Night Walk Men story)|Jason McIntyre|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1339937519s/15709605.jpg|21375320]. I enjoyed those two, and I enjoyed Corinthian, as well.

What really makes this story work for me, like the other two stories, is the narration. The style that McIntyre uses for the way Sperro tells the story draws me in each time. I'm not much a fan of the 2nd person, I almost always despise it, but in McIntyre's work, I think it's the only way to get the mood just right.

This story might be short, but it helps hint at the bigger "world view" that the Night Walk Men are involved in. It's another small glimpse into what they do and who they are. It left me wanting, but not in a painful way. I'm wanting more, and that'll come when I read [b:The Devil's Right Hand|16151332|The Devil's Right Hand (a Night Walk Men novel)|Jason McIntyre|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1352993894s/16151332.jpg|21987759], which will surely be sooner after reading this story. But it's also left me wanting in a way that I can be content formulating my own theories about the Night Walk Men. I enjoy a story that'll make me think beyond the text. McIntyre never fails to make this happen for me. ( )
