“…the 22 stories in Rogers’s debut collection demonstrate the author’s talent for finding the terrifying in the seemingly ordinary… This work of classic horror in the style of Shirley Jackson, Richard Matheson, and early Stephen King should attract fans of a more refined kind of horror.”
— Library Journal
“…an imaginative and original writer with the skill to fully execute his plots.”
— Publishers Weekly
“…the author’s facility with character and atmosphere makes for some provocative journeys into the dark and the frankly weird… I would be very curious to read a full-length novel from Rogers that provides a fantastic premise and proceeds to fully explore its consequences.”
— Quill & Quire
“…Rogers offers some real gems. Every House is Haunted is a harbinger of great things to come.”
— San Francisco Book Review
“Ian Rogers’ stories are old-fashioned in the very best sense: classic chillers in the spirit of Shirley Jackson and Richard Matheson. Every House Is Haunted is full of well-crafted, satisfying twists, a fine companion for any reader of literate horror.”
— Andrew Pyper, author of Lost Girls, The Killing Circle, and The Guardians
“…suffused with the perfect creepiness so many horror aficionados crave.”
— Ellen Datlow, editor of The Best Horror of the Year
“Rogers brings us into moral grey areas, encouraging us to question stories, delve deep into them and interact with them, and also reminds us that every story contains the potential for both danger as well as ecstasy.”
— Speculating Canada
“I’m reminded of Ray Bradbury’s concept of following where the story leads. Some of Rogers’ stories lead seemingly one way before taking a sharp turn… The utter creepiness of “The Candle” is going to be with me for a while… I’ll be keeping a look out for more Ian Rogers.”
