“De Lint is a romantic; he believes in the great things, faith, hope, and charity (especially if love is included in the last), but he also believes in the power of magic–or at least the magic of fiction–to open our eyes to a larger world.” —Edmonton Journal

“De Lint is a master of the modern urban folktale.” —The Denver Post

“In De Lint’s capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth.” —The Phoenix Gazette

“De Lint is as engaging a stylist as Stephen King, but considerably more inventive and ambitious.” —Toronto Globe and Mail
