“Here is an Elfland as implacable as ever, but now ruthlessly enmeshed in contemporary mortal affairs.” — MARK VALENTINE
“Elegantly done, very clever, beautifully dark in implication. [. . .] Wessells is not prolific at all (in fiction) but what he does is outstanding.” — RICH HORTON
”If you don’t believe in magic, read Henry Wessells and find out how wrong you are.” — GUY DAVENPORT
