Poul Anderson“When half-Gods go/The Gods arrive.” Yes, but what do you do when the Gods themselves depart?
Algis BudrysWhere is Leiber’s Pulitzer? Where is his National Book Award?
Ramsey CampbellFritz Leiber was the father of modern supernatural horror fiction, and its greatest master. I'll stake my reputation on the belief that once “Smoke Ghost” was published, the field could never be the same again.
Harlan EllisonOne of the perhaps dozen writers in the history of literature whose command of the language, whose inventiveness, whose shining genius intimidates me.

Neil GaimanHe was one of the giants of genre literature and it is hard to imagine the world of tales we read today being the same without him.
William GibsonFritz Leiber's tales of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are virtually a genre unto themselves. Urbane, idiosyncratic, comic, erotic and human, spiked with believable action and the eerie creations of a master fantasist!
Stephen KingCertainly without Conjure Wife there is no Rosemary's Baby or The Stepford Wives, and probably without Night's Black Agents there is no Books of Blood or Night Shift.
