Jaguar Hunter is a collection of science fiction, fantasy and horror stories by American writer Lucius Shepard. It was written by J. K. Potter and released in May 1987. That is the first book of the author of Arkham House. It originally was published in 3,194 copies, and the second was printed in 1,508 copies in 1950. Bantam Books released a trade-back version in 1989, Four Walls Eight Windows reprinted the series in 2001.

Jaguar Hunter received the Best Collection Award in the same category in the 1988 World Fantasy Awards and Locus Awards. Five stories were nominated for Nebula Award, one of which was nominated for Hugo award, three of which were nominated for Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards. In annual Locus opinion poll, 10 out of 11 episodes entered the top ten, two of which received the Locus Award. [2]

The exact content of this series varies from version to version. Bantam re - released "R & R". Paladin and Kerosina 's version omit "R & R" and add 3 stories. In 2001 re-issue, I added a story to the original. [4] [5]

Orson Scott Card made a very favorable comment about the series, "Shepard was the best new short story writer in the 1980s" and claimed that "there is a possibility of being dazzling" [6].

Neil Baron expresses "Jaguar Hunter" as "Collection of the most exciting fantasy and science fiction published in the 1980s" [7].

The title story of "The Jaguar Hunter:" (1985) is a perfect example of Shepard's favorite theme. Retired Jaguar hunter Esteban and his unhappy wife lived in the countryside of Honduras. She wanted to master the Western material culture, so I bought a TV from a local pawnbow shop without permission and I borrowed Esteban. Because there is no cash to pay the fee, a vulgar shopkeeper asked him to kill the deadly black Jaguar who killed the other eight hunters. Despite his doubt, he accepted the work and soon met a black Jaguar. The writing of this story is wonderful, and the story behind Jaguar is full of mysticism and tragedy. This is one of my favorites. This is a sample paragraph.

Imagine a Jaguar trapped in a desolated island. Suddenly, I heard a gunshot. Jaguar changed his direction and saw Hunter chasing him! Can you cover it and hide it from the back of the jungle or hide it from the eyes of the hunter? The hunter walked looking straight at the bush placed near Jaguar. Jaguar knows that it will be hunted until the hunter succeeds. That life is in danger. This is exactly what I felt when Rainsford was pursued by General Zero. Suspense, setup, and satire make Richard Cornel's "the most dangerous game" an exciting short story

At the beginning of the short story, Whitney and Rezford discussed the feeling that Jaguar was hunted and Resford pointed out that "his world is made up of two classes - a hunter and a hunter." The characteristic of sharing is people of the same type, that is, hunters.
