Bit of a mixed bag, but a great ride

Bloodchild and other stories is a great collection of vastly different short stories. It's a bit of a mixed bag though, some are great while others are mediocre and uninteresting. The main story of the collection, Bloodchild, is definitely the best one. I can't help but feel putting it as the first story was a bad move as it sets up high expectations for the stories to come.
