"Will You Be an Astronaut?" in Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Sept. 2002 and New Skies (Tor Books)

Read it once because it's good and then read it again to see just how well contructed it is.
Steven Sawicki, Chronicle

A subtle and frightening tale ... ambitious and successful.
Bluejack.com

Nicely grafts the 1960s hero-worship of the intrepid "spam-in-can" cold war adventurers onto an alternate reality in which Earth is being invaded by something more ominous than the Communist threat. It's a sober reminder, particularly pertinent these days, of the precise role of the foot soldier.
David Soyka, SF Site

Dark prospects of paranoia ... appear in "Will You Be an Astronaut?" by promising new writer Greg van Eekhout.
Nick Gevers, Locus

Accelerating tension, and the ending is quite powerful.
Sherwood Smith, Tangent Online

Before the story is finished, it has gone to unexpected and extremely disturbing realms .
Mark Graham, Rocky Mountain News

"Wolves Till the World Goes Down" in Starlight 3 and in Best Fantasy 2001
One of my favorites from the anthology ... van Eekhout balances the contemporary speech of gods living in the near future with the larger-than-life nature of such gods to create a believable pantheon.
Matthew Winslow, Green Man Review
"People Stuff" in Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet #10

The story is humorous, but at the same time the intelligent and vicious dog ably recalls the childhood terror inspired by large dogs. ... "People Stuff" works as comedy and Twilight-Zone like horror, sort of a cross between Mad Magazine and Tales from the Crypt.
Matt Nadelhaft, Tangent Online

"Show and Tell" in Strange Horizons

Show and Tell" is not laugh-out-loud humor but uneasy and strange, funny in both senses. The last line is a casual moment of rare weirdness.
Chris Amies, Tangent Online

"Runaway With No Tags" in Maelstrom SF #8

A wonderful short story that catches you about halfway through with a wonderful surprise.  Excellent pacing and construction and a sweet story as well.
Steven Sawicki, Science Fiction Chronicle
