Review

"Brilliant ideas... The most rigorous and interesting scientific rationale for vampirism I've ever seen... You keep turning the pages." -"Locus" Praise for "The Summer of Night"

"For those of us to whom good writing is everything, the name Dan Simmons bears great weight." -Harlan Ellison
"Simmons is not only good, he's versatile." -"Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine"
