"These stories are beautifully written and quietly chilling, full of shape-changing and weird, primitive archetypes. A professional storyteller, Robin Moore knows how to draw his readers gently into this mysterious world, giving them something to dream about without giving them nightmares."
Kirkus Reviews
"Moore puts flesh on folktale bones with these six effective yet unsensationalized tales of the uncanny. An individual gone wild (and then reclaimed--or not, depending on the tale) is a recurrent theme. The language is informal and the story structure solid, making this a good offering for both reluctant and voracious readers."
