New York, New York, U.S.A.: HarperPaperbacks, 1992. Near-Fine copy - Book shows very slight wear - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - 845 pages - There has never been a book like Imajica. Transforming every expectation of fantasy fiction with its heady mingling of radical sexuality and spiritual anarchy, it has carried its millions of readers into regions of passion and philosophy that few books have even attempted to map. It's an epic in every way; vast in conception, obsessively detailed in execution, and apocalptic in its resolution. A book of erotic mysteries and perverse violence. A book of ancient, mythological landscape and even more ancient magic. Most of all, it's a book of extraordinary characters. At its heart lies the great sensualist and master art forger, Gentle, whose life of excess comes unravelled when he encounters two other unforgettable individuals: Judith Odell, whose power to influence the destinies of the men besotted by her is vaster than she knows, and Pie'oh'pah, an alient assassin who comes from a dimension most of us don't even know exists. That dimension -- or Dominion, as it is known -- is one of five in the great system called Imajica. They are worlds which are in many ways utterly unlike our own, but which are ruled, peopled, and haunted by species whose lives are intricately connected with us. As Gentle, Judith, and Pie'oh'pah travel the Imajica -- from the darkness of its infernal regions into its visionary places -- they uncover a trail of Dominion-spanning crimes and intimate betrayals that will lead them will lead them to a revelation so startling it will change the way you look at reality forever..

HarperTorch, 2002. Near-new condition - Appears unread - NO writing, marks or tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - 686 pages - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Hollywood has made a star of Todd Pickett. But time is catching up with him. He doesn't have the perfect looks he had last year. After plastic surgery goes awry, Todd needs somewhere to hide away for a few months while his scars heal. As Todd settles into a mansion in Coldheart Canyon — a corner of the city so secret it doesn't even appear on any map — Tammy Lauper, the president of his fan club, comes to the City of Angels determined to solve the mystery of Todd's disappearance. Her journey will not be an easy one. The closer she gets to Todd the more of Coldheart Canyon's secrets she uncovers: the ghosts of the A-list stars who came to the Canyon for wild parties; Katya Lupi, the cold-hearted, nowforgotten star for whom the Canyon was named, who is alive and exquisite after a hundred years; and, finally, the door in the bowels of Katya's dream palace that reputedly open up to another world, the Devil's Country. No one who has ever ventured to this dark, barbaric corner of hell has returned without their souls shadowed by what they'd seen and done. Mingling an insider's view of modern Hollywood with a wild streak of visionary fantasy, Coldheart Canyon is a book without parallel: an irresistible and unmerciful picture of Hollywood and its demons, told with all the style and raw narrative power that have made Clive Barker's books and films a phenomenon worldwide. .

ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's gift inscription in book front. NO tears inside book. If you read one anthology of fantastic fiction this year, it has to be this one. Datlow and Windling have shown, over this past decade, that they have an unerring eye for the fantastic that is at once literate and accessible, which is no mean feat. I particularly liked the Wrede and the McKillip, but almost all of the stories are worthy of note. Highly recommended. —Michelle West ANNOTATION The annual excellence that has garnered this series two consecutive World Fantasy Awards and a windfall of critical acclaim continues in an impressive new anthology. Comprehensive in its coverage of the year in horror and fantasy, this collection features works by Ellen Kushner, Pat Cadigan, Jane Yolen, and dozens of others. FROM THE PUBLISHER This acclaimed series, winner of numerous World Fantasy Awards, continues its tradition of excellence with scores of short stories from such writers as Michael Bishop, Edward Byrant, Angela Carter, Terry Lamsley, Gabriel Garcia Marquex, A.R. Morlan, Robert Silverberg, Michael Swanwick, Jane Yolen and many others. Supplementing the stories are the editors' invaluable overviews of the year in fantastic fiction, Edward Bryant's witty roundup of the year's fantasy films, and a long list of Honorable Mentions--all of which adds up to an invaluable reference source, and a font of fabulous reading. FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly This collection is short on fantasy and long on horror--with special emphasis on sadomasochism, which, in the hands of an author like Kathe Koja, can result in a darkly illuminating story about sexual fantasies sometimes better left unrealized. Not all writers are so gifted, however. Grant Morrison gives us an offensive story about a blind heroine who is urinated upon and slashed with a razor before being clamped to a ``Chair of Final Submission.'' But Datlow and Windling, who edited the earlier volumes in this series, offer entertaining fare as well, including several appearances by good old-fashioned vampires. K. W. Jeter's aged monster has needs that promise to make his daughter's life a horror for all eternity, while Jane Yolen pens a touching tale of a young girl whose love allows her undead mother to go to her eternal rest. Also included are some enjoyable new turns on famous characters, including Peter Pan, Robin Hood and Santa Claus. Deserving of special mention are Nancy Willard's magically real tale of a man who returns from the dead to retrieve his pets and Robert Holdstock and Garry Kilworth's suspenseful, literate tale of an archeologist on the trail of immortality. (Aug.) Publishers Weekly "Best" is a subjective judgment, but there's no question that for each of the past 15 years Datlow and Windling have assembled an excellent anthology of richly rewarding imaginative literature. Their harvest of horror and fantasy for 2001 is a bumper crop of 49 stories and poems, many from sources that won't be familiar to the average reader and some from newcomers whose promise bodes well for the future of both genres. As in years past, certain themes cut across genre boundaries and explode notions of horror and fantasy as separate literary forms. Shapeshifters are present in Charles de Lint's upbeat "Trading Hearts at the Half Kaffe Cafe," where they teach a lesson about trust in a romantic relationship, and in Susan Palwick's haunting "Gestella," where they crystallize the sense of estrangement in a deteriorating marriage. Ursula K. LeGuin's "The Bones of the Earth," written in the classic high-fantasy style, and S.P. Somtow's "The Bird Catcher," which features a legendary serial killer, are both moving coming-of-age parables. Intimations of realities beyond comprehension dominate Anthony Doerr's "The Hunter's Wife," a transcendent meditation on the consolations of mortality, and Caitlin Kiernan's "Onion," which brilliantly suggests a universe of chaotic cosmic horrors through the dysfunctional lives of people who have seen but not understood them. Enhancing the mix are top-flight tales by Steve Rasnic Tem, Kelly Link, Elizabeth Hand and Gregory Maguire, and Michael Chabon's "The Dark God of Laughter," a metaphysical mystery that ranks as one of the year's most refreshingly uncategorizable stories. Without question, this book is mandatory reading for lovers of weird and fanciful fiction. (Aug. 21) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information. Publishers Weekly You can't improve on the "best," but as the editors of this landmark anthology series show in its most recent volume, you can find fresh new angles from which to present it. For the first time ever, they have selected an essay, Douglas Winter's "The Pathos of Genre," and this incisive critique of the limits of genre branding subtly calls attention to how Datlow and Windling's fiction and poetry selections usually resist simple categorizing. Many of their best picks from 1999 willfully bend, blend and move beyond expected genre materials: Tim Lebbon's "White," a horror and SF cross-stitch, uses B-movie imagery to explore the behavior of people confronted with ecological apocalypse. Kim Newman, in "You Don't Have to Be Mad," grounds a caustic horror satire of modern business mores in set pieces appropriated from television espionage programs of the 1960s. Michael Marshall Smith, in "Welcome," and Charles de Lint, in "Pixel Pixies," conjure alternate fantasy worlds with the most unlikely of talismans--a computer. Neil Gaiman, one of six authors represented by more than one contribution, places both a horror and a fantasy tale: "Keepsakes and Treasures: A Love Story," a nasty bit on the death of romance, and "Harlequin Valentine," a darkly funny fantasy. There are more than a few modern fairy tale variants, but even these show a refreshing range of styles and approaches, notably Patricia McKillip's "Toad," a delightful deflation of the frog prince's tale. The usual generous survey essays by Datlow, Windling, Ed Bryant and Seth Johnson only enhance the volume's reputation as indispensable reading for the year. (Sept.) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.| VOYA - Alison Kastner The editors present a veritable feast of fantasy and horror, some of which readers will relish, and others of which, in the grand tradition of the genres, may turn stomachs. Gems such as Charles DeLint's Crow Girls, the story of a woman in crisis who is inexplicably moved by a chance encounter with two enigmatic girls, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's reminiscences of Surinam in Caribe Magico, make the collection one worth having. As in past years, the editors give a taste of a wide variety of styles, from the magic realism of Patricia Preciado Martin's Plumas to the B-movie horror style of Terry Lamsley's Walking the Dog. Those who have enjoyed rewritings of fairy tales will be drawn to Tanith Lee's The Reason for Not Going to the Ball, in which the "wicked stepmother" exonerates herself in a letter to the now-grown Cinderella. Jane Yolen's story The House of Seven Angels, about a rabbi who studies in the company of angels, begs to be read aloud. The summations of the year in fantasy and horror will make this a useful tool for those offering reader's advisory. Other chapters include "Horror and Fantasy in the Media" and "Obituaries.".

Synopsis The young and idealistic brother to the war-hardened Strahd von Zarovich loves beautiful Tatyana, but so does Strahd. To win her hand, Strahd will do anything--even enter a pact with death and seal it with his brother's blood. Chapter illus. Publishers Weekly The third entry in TSR/Ravenloft's ``open-ended series of Gothic horror tales,'' this is a chilling, dark fantasy again featuring powerful vampire Count Strahd Von Zarovich. Strahd relates how he conquered the realm of Barovia, and how he became a vampire to win the love of his brother's wife, Tatyana. He tells of fratricide, suicide, treachery and a horrible curse connected to his beloved Tatyana. While this volume follows Vampire of the Mists (by Christie Golden) and Knight of the Black Rose (by James Lowder), the narrative's events seem to pre-date those of Golden's story. Although certain events and characters are depicted differently in all three novels, this is not a failing, necessarily, if readers keep in mind that this book is part of TSR's Dungeons & Dragons gaming world, in which each session at the gameboard produces varying scenarios. Elrod's strong prose and excellent pacing are not diminished by being confined to the boundaries of a pre-established universe. Though this novel lacks the baroque sensuality of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire or the streetwise humor of the author's own The Vampire Files , it is an exciting and original vampire tale.

Dustcover shows slight wear (NO tears). Synopsis Thirty-year-old George Davies can’t bring himself to hold his newborn son. After months of accepting his lame excuses and strange behavior, his wife has had enough. She demands that he see a therapist, and George, desperate to save his unraveling marriage and redeem himself as a father and husband, reluctantly agrees. As he delves into his childhood memories, he begins to recall things he hasn’t thought of in twenty years. Events, people, and strange situations come rushing back. The odd, rambling letters his father sent home before he died. The jovial mother who started dating too soon after his father’s death. A boy who appeared one night when George was lonely, then told him secrets he didn’t want to know. How no one believed this new friend was real and that he was responsible for the bad things that were happening. Terrified by all that he has forgotten, George struggles to remember what really happened in the months following his father’s death. Were his ominous visions and erratic behavior the product of a grief-stricken child’s overactive imagination (a perfectly natural reaction to the trauma of loss, as his mother insisted)? Or were his father’s colleagues, who blamed a darker, more malevolent force, right to look to the supernatural as a means to end George’s suffering? Twenty years later, George still does not know. But when a mysterious murder is revealed, remembering the past becomes the only way George can protect himself and his young family. A psychological thriller in the tradition of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History with shades of The Exorcist the smart and suspenseful A Good and Happy Child leaves you questioning the things you remember and frightened of the things you’ve forgotten. The Washington Post - Shaye Areheart With A Good and Happy Child, Justin Evans has written a novel that will scare even the most hardened horror fans out of their skins.

Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 412 pages. - Three years ago, musician and author Mick Farren delighted horror fans with a hip vampire tale,The Time of Feasting, which introduced a new breed of vampires who were an alien-human hybrid. Now the much awaited sequel is here; Victor Renquist, the centuries-old master of a small clan of vampires, is trying to settle the group in Los Angeles after they were chased out of New York with tragic results. Darklost brings back all the characters from Farren's first book and adds an intriguing bunch of new ones to the mix. From the time of his arrival in Los Angeles, Renquist has felt uneasy. The instincts he has honed over centuries tell him that something is terribly wrong. When he stumbles across Apogee, a cult trying to raise Cthulhu, a dark lord of the underworld, Renquist knows they must be stopped. For the power-hungry upper echelon of this group knows just enough to succeed in their efforts, but not nearly enough about how to control it once they do. Along with his concerns over the Apogee, Renquist must decide how to deal with a Darklost, a human woman who was partially converted but then left to linger in an in-between state when the vampire who took charge of her was killed. Plus, Julia, the most powerful and cunning female in the vampire clan since the tragic death of Renquist's partner, Cynara, is trying to change the mix of the group. She wants to recruit some new men and has her eye set on a particular aged movie star who, during his glory days, had a mesmerizing look and charm. As Renquist struggles to keep his clan together, the leaders at Apogee splinter over their future goals. One, who begins to doubt the wisdom of what they are trying to do, hooks up with Renquist and offers to help him in stopping the cult. But their efforts prove to be too little too late, forcing Renquist and the other vampires to take some desperate measures. Farren instills a level of nobility and humanity in his vampires that is as unique as it is intriguing. Watching their leader as he struggles to maintain order among his small but eclectic group -- all of whom love to experiment with their wilder sides -- is like watching a doting father worrying about his overly rambunctious brood. The juxtaposition of the vampires' blood-thirst with their role as saviors of the very creatures they feed upon creates a delightful ambivalence, one that is tempered by the hideous machinations of some of the humans. Here's hoping these bloodsuckers come back for another encore performance. - Beth Amos. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. (more information)

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - It has been five years since Sherry Gottlieb burst onto the vampire fiction scene with her first novel, Love Bite, giving readers their first taste of Risha Cadigan, the sexy, sensuous vampire with a flair for photography, and Jace Levy, the all-too-human homicide detective who discovers she's a killer only after he becomes her lover. Now Gottlieb brings Jace and Risha back for an encore performance in Worse than Death, an erotic mystery that explores the seamy side of human nature and a unique ethical dilemma. The time has come for Jace to make the most difficult decision of his life, and it's one that may cost him Risha's love and, very likely, his life. Forced to retire from the police department, Jace is trying to start a business as a private detective. His retirement was triggered in part by his involvement with Risha, the woman responsible for the deaths Jace was once investigating. But Jace left for another reason too, a reason he hasn't shared with anyone, a dark secret that means certain death -- or perhaps, something even worse. Fortunately, life and death aren't quite what they used to be, ever since he found Risha. Now Jace has an alternative, an escape from his grim future: eternal life. But first he must be willing to give up what little life he has left and assume an existence that is, in many ways, the antithesis of all he once fought for and believed in as a cop. While Jace ponders his future, he's also busy trying to sort out the facts in his first case as a private detective. Robert Brandon, the head of a highly successful motion picture company known for producing movies that reflect strong family values, is being blackmailed. It seems that while Brandon may produce wholesome family fare for the general public, his private tastes are a bit more sordid. And he's captured them on film. But now someone has one of those films and is threatening to expose Brandon unless he keeps paying up. Jace's investigation leads him to some desperate but hopeful starlets who will do anything in hopes of "making it" in Hollywood, even if it means "making it" with a sleazy and amoral producer like Brandon. But there is one girl on Brandon's casting-couch list that Jace can't find. And the deeper he digs, the more convinced he becomes that the blackmailer isn't just one person, it's a whole team of them. What's more, Jace has seen some of them with his own eyes, and yet he can't find any evidence that any of them actually exist. The truth, when he uncovers it, will be more bizarre than anything Jace could have anticipated. And considering he lives with a vampire, that's saying a lot. Worse than Death is a fast-paced mystery set amid the tarnished glitz and false glamour of Hollywood's seedy underbelly. It offers up an intriguing collection of suitably shifty characters living delightfully depraved lives and provides a fascinating subplot, as Jace struggles to justify a switch to vampirism, a debate that pits his desires and morals against each other. While there is little doubt Jace will opt to join Risha as one of the undead, watching his mental and moral calisthenics makes for some bitingly dark humor, particularly once the deed is done and Jace discovers a nasty side effect he hadn't anticipated. While Worse than Death has been worth the wait, here's hoping it won't be another five years before Jace and Risha ride again. And that's a double entendre (as is the title) that you'll have to read the book to understand. - Beth Amos. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. (more information)

That because he will never die, he must surrender the right to live." "For Dr. Russell Pearce, the price is eternal suspicion. He appreciates what synthesizing the elixir vitae from the Immortal's genetic makeup could mean for humankind. He also fears what will happen should Cartwright's miraculous blood fall into the wrong hands." "For the wealthy and powerful, no price is too great. Immortality is now a fact rather than a dream. But the only way to achieve it is to own it exclusively. And that means hunting down and caging the elusive Cartwright, or one of his offspring."

Ace Books, 2000 Near-fine copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, bright pages. 596 pages. Covers are clean (NO tears). Synopsis Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake In the early '90s, Laurell Hamilton delighted horror fans and lovers of all things preternatural when she first introduced Anita Blake, vampire hunter extraordinaire. Now this tough-as-nails but highly feminine necromancer is back for her ninth showing in Hamilton's hardcover debut, Obsidian Butterfly, as twisted a tale as any of its predecessors. Few writers can bring a fictional world to life the way Hamilton does, creating an alternate earth where magic, monsters, and myriad forms of the living dead are as common as cornflakes. And in the wisecracking, thick-skinned, yet sometimes softhearted Anita, Hamilton has created one of the most unique and unforgettable characters ever to walk the pages of fiction. This time out, Anita revisits an old acquaintance, Edward (a.k.a. Death) the monster hunter, a coldhearted and seemingly soulless killer whose ruthlessness makes Anita look like a pussycat. Edward calls in a favor Anita owes from some time back by asking her to travel to Santa Fe to help him investigate a monster unlike any he's encountered before. Anita readily accepts because although Edward scares her enough that she doesn't want to turn her back on him, she's also intrigued by the man to the point that she can't wait to get a closer look at his life. And his hedging and lack of details regarding the murders pique her interest as well. Though Anita thinks she is prepared and there is no way Edward can shock her, he proves her dead wrong right at the start. On the heels of this revelation, Anita is shaken even more when she finally learns the details of the murders Edward is involved with. The crime scenes are sites of unbelievable carnage, with bodies that have been violently torn apart limb by limb, their entrails ripped away. But even more horrifying than the dead are those who have been left alive, each of them skinned from head to toe, their tongues ripped away so all they can do is scream. Edward has brought in a couple of other questionable assistants, two men who challenge Anita in ways she is ill prepared to handle. Throw some misogynistic cops, a bevy of strange and powerful creatures, and plenty of sexual tension into the mix, and Anita finds herself facing some of her biggest challenges ever. Before all is said and done, she will be forced to face some painful truths about herself and confront one of the most evil and powerful monsters in existence. Obsidian Butterfly is a scintillating journey to a world where the inhabitants are all fascinating, death isn't always final (and far from the worst thing that can happen to you), and unimaginable horrors are terrifyingly real.

Every kid fears the monsters in the closet -- but for Devon March, the monsters are all too real. Horrible things come slithering out across his floor, determined to drag him with them back down their Hellhole. But Devon is no ordinary young man. He can move objects with his mind, summon incredible strength, disappear at will -- and that's only what he has discovered he's capable of so far. Yet his powers -- and the demons in his closet -- remain for him unexplained mysteries. At fourteen, Devon is sent to live at Ravenscliff, a dark seaside mansion, where he learns the first part of the secret of his powers: he is a sorcerer of the Order of the Nightwing, a three-thousand-year-old tradition of mysticism and magic that fascinates Devon with its fabled history. But Devon's new family, the Muirs, forbids him from discovering any more about his heritage, inexplicably terrified of what that knowledge might bring. At Ravenscliff, Devon must contend not only with the demons but with a strange, precocious eight-year-old boy who may prove to be the link to the most fearful demon of all: the Madman, who wants to unleash the creatures of the Hellhole for his own malevolent gain. Ravenscliff is built over one of the largest Hellholes in the world, and the uninitiated Devon must fight off the demons with the help of his new friends from Misery Point High -- including the dazzling Cecily Crandall, raised at Ravenscliff and the holder of a few secrets herself. Sorcerers of the Nightwing marks the debut of a compelling new fantasy-horror series, evoking a richly detailed and fully realized world of sorcerers and mystics, haunted houses and shadowed terrors, and the ever-present threat of the ancient creatures of the Hellhole. .

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 384 pages. - On November 25, 1996, in the lakeside community of Eustis, Florida, Rick and Ruth Wendorf were savagely beaten to death with a tire iron in their home. The Wendorfs' new Ford Explorer was stolen, but this was no routine robbery gone bad. This was a crime carried out by one Roderick Ferrell, a sixteen year-old self avowed Antichrist. A crime designed to fulfill the mission of three of his fellow vampire cult members, this was a human sacrifice - and a testament to the unique and sinister bond of four brainwashed youngsters.. "Fifteen-year-old Heather Wendorf was a straight "A" student at Eustis High, a petite blonde with a button nose and wide-set brown eyes. Only her closest peers knew that underneath Heather's wholesome girl-next-door looks, there lurked a person with an extremely morbid curiosity and a need for independence that stretched far beyond the parameters of conventional morality. Heather had been heard to wish her parents "off the face of the planet." She never dreamed that when she joined four friends for a joyride one fall evening in 1996, her wish had already come true.. "Heather had fallen prey to Rod Ferrell's "Dark Army," a band of teenaged vampire cultists who devoured the fiction of Anne Rice and The Vampire Bible, and engaged in role playing games of mysticism, blood-drinking, and the occult, in the Gothic underground of America's heartland. Then they would take their games one step further.. "Revealing the private diaries of the principles, and including exclusive interviews with every living character involved in the case - including Ferrell, who now sits on Death Row in Florida - The Embrace is a shocking chronicle of dark horrors and darker motives. .

FROM THE PUBLISHER It is Amsterdam, 1871, twenty-five years before the start of Stoker's novel, and twenty-five years following Arkady Tsepesh's flight from his family's ancestral castle with his wife and young son, Stefan, after learning that he and his family are bound by an ancient covenant to serve their ancestor, Prince Vlad Tsepesh, who is also known as Dracula. For Vlad is a vampire, and the fated firstborn sons in every generation must bring him the victims he needs to survive. Arkady had tried to break the covenant and failed. He is now a vampire, separated from his beloved wife and son, with one all-consuming desire - to destroy Vlad before he draws Stefan into eternal service through the blood ritual. But Arkady has come too late to Amsterdam. Vlad kidnaps Stefan, and spirits him away to the castle in Transylvania to undergo the blood ritual. Arkady enlists the help of Stefan's stepbrother, Abraham Van Helsing, in his thrilling battle against Vlad, as he seeks to free his family and put an end to the age-old blood covenant - even if it means he must destroy his own son. .
