Jacket review, January 6, 2006
This review is from: The Night Fantastic (Paperback)
from the back cover of the 1991 Daw edition
Poul Anderson, Usula K. LeGuin, Alan Dean Foster, Robert Silverberg, Gene Wolfe, Isaac Asimov, Brian W. Aldiss, Fritz Leiber and a host of other dream masters invite you to visit magical realms where night becomes day as the waking world sleeps and sleeping worlds wake. Venture into hauntingly familiar territories, dark and mysterious lands never before explored, subtly shifting yet not quite forgotten pasts, and futures blended equally of humankind's most secret hopes and fears.
A young girl living in an eternal land of childhood... a salesman's fateful overnight stay in a rural town that has a terrifying way of welcoming strangers...a being whose attempts at communicating translate in humans' most overwhelming nightmares...a chess player blessed or cursed by the sudden acquisition of abilities far beyond his own... These are just a few of the dreamers who will enchant you with their private reveries in THE NIGHT FANTASTIC.
