"I found the white cities just as they were in my dreams." - Joseph Roth

Transylvania: the country beyond the forest and land of the seven fortress towns. In The Silver Voices we encounter the previously unknown eighth town: Sternbergstadt. Now known as Steaua de Munte, it's one of those places where past and present continually meet, with no-one being entirely sure which has the upper hand. In Steaua de Munte history can never be said to be dead and buried; it plays too many tricks on the present and future for that.

Industry Reviews

"The genuinely lost worlds are those that are always with us. The lost worlds of history and the people who haunt them are the subjects of John Howard's stories in The Silver Voices . . . It's especially apt that Swan River has reprinted this collection now, one hundred years after so many old certainties were gunned down at Sarajevo." - Supernatural Tales

"Ambiguity does not stop with the work's overall composition but proceeds to infect each of the stories . . . Such is the hallmark of gifted writing." - Dead Reckonings

"Howard has carved out an almost unique niche for himself, detailing the geo-political ebb and flow of Eastern European history from the minutiae of its human costs and intrigue." - The Pan Review

"Sad . . . with an elegiac quality commemorating all that was lost to the war, the ways in which the world changed for better and worse." - Black Static
