Trillium Award Finalist (2013)
“A collection as powerful as the much earlier linked stories of Flight Paths of the Emperor…. 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
“To say Heighton is an immensely talented writer is true enough but insufficient.... As good as the fiction of Alice Munro and Mavis Gallant. Or to be more blunt, Heighton is as good a writer as Canada has ever produced.... The best stories in this book do what only great art can do: make us feel more fiercely alive.”
—National Post
“Both a fine poet and one of the better short story writers in this country.... As with any good writer, it’s easy to miss or take for granted all the things Heighton does well…. Work of this quality is a real achievement.”
—Toronto Star
