5.0 out of 5 stars Master of the genre, 1 Oct 2003
This review is from: Fancies and Goodnights (New York Review Books Classics) (Paperback)
Where have you been all my life! A previously unknown author to me, it is indeed a wonder, as Ray Bradbury notes in his splendid and glowing introduction, to discover the works of John Collier and an even greater wonder that he is not more widely acknowledged and rightly feted and praised. For Collier is a master of the subtle and neglected art of short story writing, if there is a single weak link or disappointing element in any of these wonderful tales then I have yet to find it. In Fancies and Goodnights the author creates a fantastic, almost fairy tale like world entirely of his own devising, a wondrous place where fleas trek to Hollywood, demons are frustrated by screenwriters, hell is only a tube ride away, fanciful murders occur daily and where genies escape from their bottles. It is a pleasure to linger and delight in the strange world of Fancies and Goodnights, a collection of quirky, imaginative, surreal and wryly funny short stories that are a constant delight to discover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twist in the tale, 5 Feb 2004
By Crazy Eddie (Guildford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fancies and Goodnights (New York Review Books Classics) (Paperback)
There is very little to add to the glowing review already here: this book is superb. The wonderful thing is that whilst there are some themes that recur, each story is invidually crafted, unique. Whilst some are fairly straight forward however, others have the most wonderful twists. Do not expect anything from a story (except fantastic writing) as your preconceptions are bound to be challenged!
