The author of A. Fine and Private Place and The Last Unicorn , a pair of the very best fantasy novels of our time, Peter S. Beagle has written only two fantasy short stories of which "Lila the Werewolf" is the best, a contemporary classic. Beagle is a musician, a script writer, and a literary descendant of the fantasist Robert Nathan. Like Avram Davidson, he is an urban fantasist of wit and perception; a lover of animals who knows their personalities; a writer with a flair for characterization that raises him to the very top rank of contemporary writers who choose the fantastic as their metier. And his New York setting vibrates with authenticity, though it has been twenty years since dogs have been so common in the city. This is not a story about love. Views: 23

From New York Times
bestselling author Jodi Thomas comes the first book in a compelling,
emotionally resonant series set in a remote west Texas town—where family
can be made by blood or by choice… Rancher Staten
Kirkland, the last descendent of Ransom Canyon's founding father, is
rugged and practical to the last. No one knows that when his troubling
memories threaten to overwhelm him, he runs to lovely, reclusive Quinn
O'Grady… or that she has her own secret that no one living knows. Young
Lucas Reyes has his eye on the prize—college, and the chance to become
something more than a ranch hand's son. But one night, one wrong
decision, will set his life on a course even he hadn't imagined. Yancy
Grey is running hard from his troubled past. He doesn't plan to stick
around Ransom Canyon, just long enough to learn the town's weaknesses
and how to use them for personal gain. Only Yancy, a common criminal
since he was old enough to reach a car's pedals, isn't prepared for what
he encounters. In this dramatic new series, the lives, loves
and ambitions of four families will converge, set against a landscape
that can be as unforgiving as it is beautiful, where passion, property
and pride are worth fighting—and even dying—for.

The third book in the Elric series introduces the reader to Moonglum, Elric's longtime companion. Much of the second novel moved away from the events of the first, and concentrated Elric's character on other adventures. The Weird of the White Wolf brings Elric back to Melniboné along with Moonglum, their friend Smiorgan Baldhead, and an army of raiders bent on overthrowing Yyrkoon, who stole the throne when Elric left Melnibonл for a year to travel the world. For those wondering, whether you've read the book or not: the “weird” of the title is an archaic definition of the term, given by Merriam Webster as “One's assigned lot or fortune, especially when evil.” And when he finds it, he's not all that happy about it. But that's to be expected when one's antihero has a crisis of conscience. Certainly not a slow book by any means, nor a weak one in the context of the series. And it's definitely a necessity as a prelude to what comes after it. Views: 23
