“A Horse Named Sorrow is
simply, inexorably beautiful. It is sexy, cinematic, the
prose itself an absolute joy to read, and often funny as
holy hell. It is, at the same time, one of the saddest works
I have ever read: piercing, poignant, and memorable.”
—Maureen Seaton, author of Sex
Talks to Girls: A Memoir
"This magical tale about a boy unexpectedly turning into a
faun is funny, poignant and erotic. Faun offers
a wise meditation on our relationship to the earth as well
as each other—and
to our sexuality, which is the 'greenest' part of us all."
—Mark
Thompson, author of the Gay
Spirit, Gay Soul, Gay
Body trilogy
Lambda Book Report Review of A Horse Named Sorrow
"Powerful is an understatement. What Healey has created here
is a new classic in literary fiction, along the lines of On
the Road and Giovanni’s
Room,
which will echo in the heart of his readers like the fading
encore of the perfect song."

the commonplace and the unique to happen"
Impressions of a Reader review of
Faun
"Faun
by Trebor Healey is
categorized as queer urban fantasy, but with its excellent
characterization, atmosphere, and blend of Greek mythology,
religion, and Mexican culture, by the end of the story I
thought of it as a beautiful contemporary urban fable."

"Healey’s new work, A
Horse Named Sorrow, is
as wonderful and nuanced as its title."

"I highly recommend this book to
YA and adult readers alike, and especially to ... readers
who are interested in urban fantasy."
