If you've run out of Dresden stories elsewhere, then go ahead and read this. If you're trying to introduce people to Dresden, hand them a book. 
 The good parts: Bob the skull is still the best character. The art was fine. 
 And now the bad: The opening is incredibly disappointing, with the setup introduction of a cardboard cutout of a racist caricature. Because the guy was a jerk, he's drug off into the desert and killed (harsh, but understandable) and his family is cursed for every generation to die early and horribly (a bit out of proportion to the crime presented). There is a lot of room for more nuance, depth, and believability. A couple more pages and actual acts of oppression rather than kicking some people out of their table would have made this much more believable and impactful. Noir is supposed to be full of grit and grey. 
 Now this curse where all descendants die young and horribly is somehow also a competition between a ghoul and a goblin? And they're competing for the most number of kills? And the competition is over when the last member of the family dies? I didn't quite understand this, and the lack of good motivation really undercut the impact of the story when you step back to consider it critically.
