5.0 out of 5 stars
Intelligent and dark,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wind Over Heaven (Paperback)
I've heard it argued that horror is an emotion, not a genre, and Bruce Holland Rogers has demonstrated this well in his collection of dark stories. The stories range from a western to a fable to science fiction, but all are intelligent tales with dark themes, including redemption and revenge, and settings ranging from the land of the dead to an alternate Aztec-like Mexico. I recommend this book.

This review is from: Wind Over Heaven (Paperback)
Bruce Holland Rogers is a delightful writer. I have never been disapointed in his stories. His books are easy to pick up and hard to put down.

Fine writing that rises above classification,

This review is from: Wind Over Heaven (Paperback)
After I read this book, I thought, Man--I certainly got my money's worth. I don't tend to review books I can't give five stars, but this one...I'd love to give it six. So much imagination in such a slim volume. And it doesn't so much defy classification as rise above it. Yes, there are stories here that might be shoehorned into Science Fiction--like Vox Domini or On Top. And yes, the Horror genre might loosely describe An Eye for Acquisitions and perhaps The Apple Golem. But none of these stories fit comfortably into boxes--they slip out, winking at us, creeping over borders, scattering little seeds of fear, astonishment, wisdom, wry humor. Even the Magic Realism label doesn't do them justice.
Bruce Holland Rogers is a terrific writer. These stories stick with me; they make me think; and some of them are simply great fun. Read his stuff; this book is a bargain. Susan O'Neill, author, Don't Mean Nothing: Short Stories of Viet Nam
