Re-creation

I enjoyed [this] holiday gift story so much that I sent the url to my 14-year-old son. Thank you. It did, indeed, feel like a gift.

[Reader comment at duskpeterson (LiveJournal).]

Your portrayal of the relationship between these two boys was beautiful.

Bard of Pain

You take us on a journey through the darkness of a soul and show us that even the dark reaches for the light.

[Reviews at eternaldungeon.]

Apart from the lucidity of your perceptions, there are the wonderful turns of phrase that you employ . . . Such as when you compare the Commander's eyes to "dark winter leaves." Exquisite.

[Reviews at eternaldungeon.]

I find the characterisations so sharply delicious, dark and shocking and yet engaging. . . . I like to savour each part.

[Letter to the author by Clare London, author of Masquerade and The Gold Warrior, December 2007. See also the brief recommendation by Clare London (skip down to "Dusk") in an interview by Rainedelight.]

There's something very special about Dusk's dark fic. Dark, very, but there's this smidgen of light in every cavern Dusk throws a reader, and the brightness of that light is practically overwhelming by the time you get to the end of the novel, and it is like crawling to the opening of a cavern. It's like getting a miracle.

[Review by K. M. Frontain, author of The Soulstone Chronicles and associate editor for Wild Child Publishing and Freya's Bower, at her blog.]

Mystery

This is brilliant and lovely and makes the heart long for more than what our piddling society calls love.

[Briony, Letter to the author, June 2002]
