Reception
Writing for The New York Times, Richard Boston found Heroes and Villains to be "a strange, compelling book. . . . a fable that discusses the roles of reason and imagination in a civilized society." He reported it to be "an undoubted success," saying "Carter tells her story with considerable skill. Her observation is sharp, and she writes extremely well."[1]
Theodore Sturgeon reviewed the novel favorably, praising Carter's "vivid color, her familiarity with her scene, the unexpectedness of her characters and plot development."[2]
