"Science fiction, horror, fantasy, and crime story are genres where pastiche permits the author the greatest space for self-indulgence. But the most successful efforts in the pastiche story turn out to be written by authors who have no interest in easy victories. Reggie Oliver succeeds in writing horror stories, sometimes based upon plot ideas by accomplished historic figures in the genre, like M. R. James, that ultimately supersede form-of-content limitations."
