There is a light stain to inside of jacket but this cannot be seen from the outside. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 311 pages; "A ghostly wind blows across the valleys of Southern California scattering pieces of a long-forgotten story of murder and revenge across the lives of a group of people whose own struggles resonate to the tale's dark music. The author of The Paper Grail Ace: Berkeley 1992 invests a complex story of failed marriages and shady business deals with mythic overtones as elusive as the eerie wind that forms the primary motif of this hauntingly moody novel. Gracefully written and splendidly told this is a strong candidate for fantasy and general fiction collections." 462 . Ace Hardcover hardcover

It is 10 years since Thomas Covenant's death and Linden Avery runs the small mental hospital in which Covenant's widow Joan is confined. Roger Covenant newly turned 21 visits Avery and tries to get his mother released. Failing at that he kidnaps Joan as well as Avery's adopted son then commits several murders and flees to the Land the other world of Covenant sagas. Roger is clearly doing Lord Foul's bidding and Avery has no choice but to follow him. She discovers that in the Land three and a half millennia have passed. The Haruchai are now called the Masters and distrust Earthpower and an old man Anele who is full of Earthpower is key to finding the lost and essential Staff of Law. Thus is engendered a quest of formidable complexity ranging across the Land to end at the seat of the Masters at Revelstone Keep presently menaced by a host of Demondim against which however the Staff of Law wielded by battle-worn Avery no longer offers the only hope. Filled with splendid inventions occasionally described to the point of prolixity this book promises extremely well for the future of the end of the Covenant chronicles. " 855 . Putnam Adult hardcover

DARK MATTER Reading the Bones Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora
Aspect. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2004. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0446528609 . VG. Book is actually new but has light shelfwear to jacket involving scuffing of jacket & light edge wear. Small remainder mark across upper edge. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 416 pages; "In an excellent idiosyncratic collection of sf fantasy and folktale-derived fiction by African American including Caribbean writers the quality of writing is uniformly high and the contributors constitute practically a who's who of African American writers who have dealt in speculative fiction beginning with W. E. B. DuBois represented by a piece dating from 1920. Samuel Delany Nalo Hopkinson Tananarive Due and Walter Mosley also appear and the tone of most of the stories even "Anansi Meets Peter Parker at the Taco Bell on Lexington" is serious and even desperate. One compensation for that tone is that Mosley seems much more at home in short sf and fantasy than he is at novel length as in Blue Light 1998. But writing of this quality speaks eloquently for itself and so do such surprises as Carol Cooper's panegyric to the consciousness-raising influence of Andre Norton one of three essays at the end of the volume.

TAMSIN
Roc Trade. Very Good. 2001. First Edition. Softcover. 0451458206 . Clean and unmarked small remainder marking bottom edge. Very light edge and corner wear to cover light scratches across rear of cover. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 288 pages; Like his enchanting The Last Unicorn Beagle's newest fantasy features characters so real they leap off his pages and into readers' souls. Tamsin Willoughby dead some 300 years haunts ramshackle old Stourhead Farm in Dorset England an ancient 700-acre estate that 13-year-old Jenny's new English stepfather is restoring. Thoroughly American Jenny miserable at being transplanted from New York City to rural Britain finds a suffering kindred spirit in Tamsin a ghost who is mourning Edric a love she lost during Dorset's punitive Bloody Assizes under King James II. Tamsin leads Jenny through an engrossing night world inhabited by an array of British spiritsAthe Black Dog a braggart Boggart ominous Oakmen the shapeshifting Pooka and a marvelous mystical army-booted Earth Mother. To save Tamsin and gentle Edric from eternal torment Jenny faces evil personified: demonic Judge Jeffries who sentenced hundreds of people to brutal execution during the Assizes. Slipping effortlessly between Jenny's brash 1999 lingo the raw primeval dialect of ancient Dorset and Tamsin's exquisite Jacobean English Beagle has created a stunning tale of good battling evil of wonder and heartbreak and of a love able to outlast the worst vileness of the human heart. Fantasy rarely dances through the imagination in more radiant garb than this. 245-osl . Roc Trade paperback
