He has retained his ironic intelligence as well as a rugged quality that’s fascinating and hard to define…. A delight…. Genius…. Funny, scary, sad.... The Dead Are More Visible is a fine collection of fictions, well worth reading.” —The Globe and Mail“Short stories are the ideal format for Steven Heighton...these tiny, distilled gems pack a...punch.” —Readers Digest “Heighton is indisputably one of Canada’s most important literary talents.” —The Kingston Whig-Standard“Heighton lavishes attention on the way language helps frame the world....

He returns to what is perhaps his strongest form with The Dead Are More Visible.” —National Post
