Product Information
Magic is back. Peter S. Beagle returns with an inspired collection of new fantasy that showcases his incomparable mastery and range. In these tales - with settings as different as an impossible reconstruction of the Berlin Wall and the kitchen of Mrs. Eunice Giant (72 Fairweather Lane, East-of-the-Bean, Sussex Overhead) - warriors, monsters, and utterly ordinary people struggle with possession and forgiveness, life and love, hate and death...and the choices that come after everything else has been stripped away by Fate. Inside these pages: - The daughter of the Shark God leaves her Pacific island home, determined to find her mysterious father and hold him accountable for the curse of her own existence. - A dilapidated dragon, a frustrated cop, and an unapologetic author square off over a dangerously abandoned narrative. - An enchantress-to-be sings of power, desire, and the ultimate betrayal of her heart. - In a nothing diner, in a nowhere town, a woman lost in grief learns how to

"Peter is one of those writers who just seems to be getting better and better." —Neil Gaiman, author,The Graveyard Book, "Each piece bridges the rich intersection of fantasy and fairy tale, reality and possibility. . . . Short story and fantasy lovers will devour these tasty tidbits that whet the appetite for more." — Library Journal Online (April 18, 2011), "Peter S. Beagle's latest collection of short stories, also reimagines old mythologies. . . . There's a warmth behind most of these stories, along with a dollop of schmaltz that fortunately makes them no less satisfying." —Sara Sklaroff, Washington Post (April 12, 2011), "Peter S. Beagle is the magician we all apprenticed ourselves to." —Lisa Goldstein, author,The Red Magician, "Few can match [Beagle] when it comes to a particular mix of the fantastic and the ordinary, with a tinge of nostalgia. As one character observes, the magic is in the telling, always." — Interzone, "Peter is one of those writers who just seems to be getting better and better." --Neil Gaiman, author, The Graveyard Book, "Each piece bridges the rich intersection of fantasy and fairy tale, reality and possibility. . . .

As one character observes, the magic is in the telling, always." -- Interzone, Multiple Hugo and Nebula award--winning Beagle opens readers' eyes to wonder with his latest collection of 13 short stories. Each piece bridges the rich intersection of fantasy and fairy tale, reality and possibility, exploring predestination, fate, and the power of love through characters that come to vivid, three-dimensional life within a few short pages. Beagle's lyrical writing is set in a wide range of landscapes both familiar and fresh, with twists on Jack and the Beanstalk, monsters and dragons, a singing enchantress, ghostly photographs, and a modern werewolf tale. #145;The Bridge Partner' is more noir than fantasy yet fits within the collection quite well, as does the deeply chilling, experimental, and dark #145;Dirae.' #145;The Woman Who Married the Man in the Moon' features two lost children and an encounter with an early version of Schmendrick the Magician from his classic novel, The Last Unicorn. Each story is introduced with some background about its origin." — Library Journal Wise, warm and deep." — The New York Times This bittersweet collection of 13 recent stories pays tribute to the complicated power of family ties. #145;Sleight of Hand' lauds the good magic of parental love, while #145;What Tune the Enchantress Plays' shows its dark side. #145;Children of the Shark God' addresses children's influence on parents, and in #145;La Lune T'Attend' a grandfather protects his descendants from the family's longtime enemy. Slighter but still entertaining are #145;Up the Down Beanstalk,' the nostalgia-heavy #145;The Rabbi's Hobby' (Brighton Beach Memoirs with magic), and #145;Oakland Dragon Blues,' whose title character deserves better than his pat ending. The surprise hit of the collection is #145;The Bridge Partner,' psychological horror in the best Twilight Zone tradition. Fans of The Last Unicorn will also appreciate #145;The Woman Who Married the Man in the Moon,' a Schmendrick prequel in classic bittersweet Beagle style." — Publishers Weekly Satisfying." — Washington Post Book World This 13-story anthology will entice even the most jaded reader to read long hours into the night.... Sleight of Hand will beguile and enchant." — New York Journal of Books Beagle still has the power to surprise...a new collection of stories by one of the all-time greats." — The Guardian Sleight of Hand is a strong collection by an author whose skill has only improved with time...a must-have." — Tor.com Few can match [Beagle] when it comes to a particular mix of the fantastic and the ordinary, with a tinge of nostalgia.

The man is amazing.
