THE BLACK HORSE TAVERN is Raymond Fraser's landmark first book of fiction. Revised and edited by the author, this long-awaited definitive edition features a novella and nine stories, along with a new Introduction . . . . . . . "All ten stories in THE BLACK HORSE TAVERN bear the Fraser touch: gutsy realism, originality, and humour. The effect is hilarious, moving, and sad. It's quite a book." BETTY SHAPIRO, Montreal Gazette . . . . . . "Raymond Fraser is one of the most gifted writers I know, and among his gifts are two that are all too rare: a zest for life and a sense of humour. He belongs to the timeless tradition of story tellers." ALDEN NOWLAN . . . . . . "Rattling good yarns without managed thrills and contrived tension, THE BLACK HORSE TAVERN is the reflection of a man who has lived a life far from quiet desperation. Like Fraser's poetry, it is relentless, subtle, disturbing, bearing the stamp of immediately recognizable talent and nifty writing." JOHN RICHMOND, Montreal Star . . . . . . "The best literary voice to come belling out of the Maritimes in decades." FARLEY MOWAT . . . . . . "A highly original voice that is occasionally sad, sometimes very comic. A real pleasure to read." ALAN DAWE, Vancouver Sun . . . . . . "One of Canada's truly great writers." GAIL MACMILLAN, Author, Ceilidh's Quest
