- ALDEN
- NOWLAN"Rattling
- good
- yarns
- without
- managed
- thrills
- and
- contrived
- tension,
- THE
- BLACK
- HORSE
- TAVERN
- is
- the
- reflection
- of
- a
- man
- who
- has
- lived
- a
- life
- far
- from
- quiet
- desperation.
- Like
- Fraser's
- poetry,
- it
- is
- relentless,
- subtle,
- disturbing,
- bearing
- the
- stamp
- of
- immediately
- recognizable
- talent
- and
- nifty
- writing."

- RICHMOND,

- come
- belling
- out
- of
- the
- Maritimes
- in
- decades."
- FARLEY
- MOWAT"A
- highly
- original
- voice
- that
- is
- occasionally
- sad,
- sometimes
- very
- comic.
- A
- real
- pleasure
- to
- read."

- of
- Canada's
- truly
- great
- writers."
