The Bone Forest - Critical Commentary and Awards

Critical Commentary and Awards

Critiquing the tale Scarrowfell in the anthology Other Edens, John Clute remarks that "Scarrowfell...floods the frail tale it ostensibly relates with a jumble of moods, too many characters, too much music, and expiation/initiation too complex to be explained in the pages it takes, and bevies of mummers..."

  • The Bone Forest was nominated for the World Fantasy Award in the category of Best Collection in 1992.
  • Scarrowfell, Valley of Statues and Other Stories and its translation, published in French, won the Prix d'Imaginales award in the New Fantasy category in 2004.
