Blurb: If you’re a fan of Jakes, it’s definitely worth picking up. The best stories:
"The Sellers of the Dream" - a dystopian future of commercialization and spies, this one had some images that stuck firmly in my head, though the background faded out a bit.
"One Race Show" - an art dealer searches out a unique, troubling painter. While the concept at the heart of this is familiar, Jakes does a good job of bringing emotion and drama to it in a new way.
"There's No Vinism Like Chauvinism" - war is both commercial and fake, until someone goes too far. Here, Jakes might have done better to expand this into a full novel or novella; the concept feels underexplored and a bit rushed as he focuses on the relationship at the heart of the story."
