By August Franza
In this collection of uncollected stories—written over many decades including the present one (2000–2010)—the author ranges about in tone and content so that readers will encounter variety and degrees of intensity, irony and humor. If this is not so, the author will have failed and justified the presence of the essay that ends this volume of short stories.

By Andrew Dequasie
The 16 tales in this book range in length from 115 pages for "Whizzers" down to a single page for "Commuter," and are arranged in order of length from the longest down to the shortest. Each tale is distinctly different from its 15 neighbors and none is longer than it needs to be to carry the plot. Some of the characters are those almost mythical 'real Vermonters' and some are folks who were born elsewhere but had the good fortune to relocate in Vermont. One is a wild turkey, one is a colonial ghost, one is from the very distant past, and one is from the future. The rest are folks you might meet at a town meeting or a restaurant. Two of the stories in this book were previously published; "A Long Winter's Nap" appeared in the February, 1999 issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and "The Infernal Machine" appeared in issue Number 2, Winter 93/94, of OffWorld, a nice little magazine that didn't survive.

By Albert Russo
WORLD LITERATURE TODAY: “Albert Russo’s collected stories included in this hefty volume constitute an excellent testimony on the writer´s ability to create fiction which is both entertaining and thought-provoking in a surprising variety of contexts. All of Mr Russo´s readers know that he can write as easily about his native Africa as about present-day New York or Italy; and the collection, with stories set in different places and milieus, highlights his special talent at transporting his readers from one scene to another, in a kind of “sentimental journey” through human experience. Science fiction and fantasy are other paths trodden by Albert Russo in his quest for a pre-Babel reconciliation of man with himself in all his constitutive dimensions, linguistic and social, but also generic and transcendental.”
