This was a high quality issue - that sadly was not to my personal taste. It was just a little bit too literary for me. Quite a few of the stories were more vignettes than true stories, but to be fair this included my favorite, "The Ceremony." (but then, I have a weakness for twisted fairy tales).
If you enjoy literary short stories, most of them very short, you probably should consider subscribing. If you prefer more action and a more transparent writing style, then it's not for you. But that's not a knock on the quality - Fireside has a very distinctive editorial style that is bound to please some and not others.
