Over his acclaimed career, Cook's novels have haunted, riveted, and spellbound viewers across the world, and his brief stories are equally acclaimed. They range from the intensely concentrated world of "Fatherhood", the Herodotus prize-winning name history, to the Edgar nominated "Rain", a dark, kaleidoscopic tale of Manhattan about the same, rain-swept night time. "The Fix", the storyline of a famous boxing fix that was, well, not a fix in any way, was determined for inclusion in Best Mystery Stories of the entire year. "What She Offered", the gripping tale of a one-night stand, was contained in the Best Noir Tales of the Century. Like Cook's novels, the range of the collection is, itself, astonishing. From a backwoods Appalachian shack during the Depression ("THE INDEGENT") to a Midwestern college campus in the throes of '60s revolt ("The Sun-Gazer") to a midtown Manhattan bookstore on Holiday Eve, "The Lessons of the Season", this collection demonstrates specifically that, in what of Michael Connolly, "no one tells a tale better than Thomas H. Make meals".
