The Hidden Children

"The thing about Rodgers is, he takes the horror — and it's horrible, all right — and turns it into the light just a little differently than you'd ever expect and from this angle you realize it's more tragic than horrid, more beautiful than hideous." — Orson Scott Card / F&SF. New Life for the Dead is one of the best horror collections of the 1990s, and it features many of Rodgers' best short works, including his Bram Stoker Awardwinning novelet, "The Boy Who Came Back from the Dead."
