Simak is a wonder, but while I've never had Way Station give me trouble, some of his books definitely can.
Time is the Simplest Thing is fun, good, and harmless. The Werewolf Principle is a remarkably similar book and fluffier, both are well worth reading and are free of any emotional landmines. The Goblin Reservation & The Cosmic Engineers are both fun fluff. All Flesh is Grass is a more serious book (and excellent), but non-troubling.
In vivid contrast, Destiny Doll is brilliant, but very sad. No major character dies in it, but it is to me very much a book about death and dying - read with care.
