The Rim of Morning

"Age dulls our capacity for wonder--it is one of its more unforgivable deprivations--and we are still deeply grateful to any artist who can revive it within us. I love To Walk the Night for the glimmering it gave me of this universe as older and stranger and more terrible than I can imagine, the vertiginous sense of the world turning under my feet and the awful abyss falling away overhead. And I love The Edge of Running Water because...this book made me genuinely afraid not of death, but of the dead, a far more primal and magical fear. And because when I first read, after dark in an isolated cabin, Sloane's description of the noise the unseen machine produces, it gave me an authentic case of the willies." -- Tim Kreider, Baltimore City Paper

Praise for To Walk the Night:

"To Walk the Night is not, as its title might seem to suggest, a mere ghost story. Its central idea is at once less usual and more horrible, but what that central idea is the reader must be allowed to find out for himself. The atmosphere of tense, apparently unreasonable dread and fear has been well worked up, and the climax skillfully developed....Though the story might be truthfully described as an extremely tall yarn, the reader, breathlessly turning the pages, forgets his twentieth-cenutry incredulity until the tale is finished." --L. M. Field, The New York Times

"An absorbing and impenetrable problem, a group of finely developed characters, and a terrifying solution that fights its way up to the surface and makes you believe it." --N. L. Rothman, Saturday Review of Literature

"Worthy of prompt attention by all and sundry; two strange deaths, a most exciting batch of superscience, and a fantastic solution that should knock you cold." --Will Cuppy, New York Herald-Tribune
