Pulpy Dark Fantasy with Literary Depth, July 5 2009
By John J. Coyne - Published on Amazon.com
These two novellas aren't Shepard's finest work, but are still fun reads, artfully melding pulp sci-fi (in Ariel) and pulp horror (in Vacancy) with the poetic, intelligent prose I've come to love in Shepard's work

Yep. Still good., May 20 2012
By Steve Roby - Published on Amazon.com
I used to read a lot of SF mags back in the '80s and was always glad to encounter Lucius Shepard's stories. His work tended to feature exotic settings, damaged protagonists, and a mix of genre and literary elements. I lost track of Shepard's career over the years but was given a copy of this, and it all came back. I think I prefer the noir/horror hybrid of Vacancy; though both stories here have a sense of inevitability, Vacancy's tighter focus just ratchets up the tension. Ariel somehow feels a little less uniquely Shepardian, though I enjoyed it.Overall, well worth reading. It's easy to miss Shepard because so much of his work is at novella length and now, it seems, published by smaller presses, but I'm going to work on filling some gaps in my collection.
