(urth) What's So Great About Ushas?

[Lane Haygood]

And in all fairness, one should as well pick up "Endymion" and "The  
Rise of Endymion" to round out the series, although the first two  
Hyperion Cantos are superior.

But "gory horror novels?"  Really? I could see pseudo-cyberpunk  (the  
first two), homage to Chaucer and Keats, and mystic fantasy (the last  
two), but I don't recall there being a whole lot of gore.  The  
descriptions of the Tree of Pain were not pleasant, but were hardly  
gory, at least as I am imagining "gore."
