Parke Godwin called Parks’s first collection, The Ogre’s Wife: Fairy Tales For Grownups (2002), “one of the best SF/fantasy collections I’ve read in years” and wrote of its author that “[l]ike any fine writer [he] doesn’t label easily, which makes him hell for lazy-minded pigeonholers, but his themes are consistent and clear. He uses fantasy to underscore reality: the nature of our humanity and the inescapability of what we are, the choices we make and the price we pay for each, right or wrong. … [H]e can step imperceptibly from deadpan funny to deeply affecting truth with an utterly transparent style that has the reader racing down the page [and] has the rare ability to say profound things simply.”
