About the Book
A New Collection of Long Out-of-Print Stories From One of the Greatest Fantasists of the Twentieth Century
Avram
Davidson, who died in 1993, was widely regarded as one of the most
outstanding authors of short fantasy fiction in our time. This
collection comprises his distinctive historical fantasies - tales of
strange Mitteleuropas, of magic in Victorian England and on the
American frontier. Here are The Lineaments of Gratified Desire, Traveller from an Antique Land, and What Strange Stars and Skies;
here are dragons, cameras, and The Singular Incident of the Dog on the
Beach.
Witty, whimsical, dark, and strange, these tales of times and places that almost were will leave even the most jaded readers amazed. No one has ever written like Avram Davidson, before or since.
