Home Before Dark: The Collected Cedar Hill Stories, Volume 2
|
“Home Before Dark is superb... establishes once again this
author as one of the major, current literary voices even beyond
the limits of the horror genre." "Braunbeck is an extraordinary author of dark literature,
not just dark fiction. His style is crystal-clear, polished but
straightforward, and his attitude towards his own characters is
that of a deep empathy. This is a splendid collection that you shouldn't
miss, and praise to Paul Miller's Earthling Publications not only
for publishing the book but also for producing a very elegant, attractive,
perfect volume." "[Braunbeck's] Cedar Hill stories are the best example of
his inimitable skill. I simply can't get over how utterly true these
stories feel; more so than anything I've read in a long time. Very
few of the contrivances that often distract from the experience
of good writing appear here. The stories in Home Before Dark are
pure, as if they — to borrow a cliche — are being told through
Braunbeck, and not simply by him. You owe it to yourself to visit
Cedar Hill. Just be happy you don't live there." |
