Description:

His stories are unlike anything we have known. John Hollander has described him as "a stand-up tragic. Transcriptions of a spoken voice, their cadences linger beyond laughter, like a king of minstrelsy that resounds through vast stone halls centuries after its audiences have died."
The Kirkus Reviews said this was a "kind of Nursery Time Twilight Zone" and it was "like sitting at the knee of a delightfully demented fairy-tale grandfather." Publisher's Weekly called the stories "brutal, satirical, sinister, amusing" and said that "there is a certain tension here that calls up half-forgotten shivery feelings that come from listening to ghost stories in the dark."
