Book Description

A young man in his teens is transported from our world to a magical realm that contains seven levels of reality. Very quickly transformed by magic into a grown man of heroic proportions, he takes the name Able and sets out on a quest to find the sword that has been promised to him, a sword he will get from a dragon, the one very special blade that will help him fulfill his life ambition to become a knight and a true hero. Inside, however, Able remains a boy, and he must grow in every sense to survive the dangers and delights that lie ahead in encounters with giants, elves, wizards, and dragons. His adventure will conclude next year in the second volume of The Wizard Knight, The Wizard. Gene Wolfe is one of the most widely praised masters of SF and fantasy. He is the winner of the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, the Nebula Award, twice, the World Fantasy Award, twice, the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, the British Fantasy Award, and France's Prix Apollo. His popular successes include the four-volume classic The Book of the New Sun. With this new series, Wolfe not only surpasses all the most popular genre writers of the last three decades, he takes on the legends of the past century, in a work that will be favorably compared with the best of J. R. R. Tolkien, E. R. Eddison, Mervyn Peake, and T. H. White. This is a book---and a series---for the ages, from perhaps the greatest living writer in (or outside) the fantasy genre.

Book Description

In Six Walks in the Fictional Woods Umberto Eco shares with us his Secret Life as a reader—his love for MAD magazine, for Scarlett O'Hara, for the nineteenth-century French novelist Nerval's Sylvie, for Little Red Riding Hood, Agatha Christie, Agent 007 and all his ladies. We see, hear, and feel Umberto Eco, the passionate reader who has gotten lost over and over again in the woods, loved it, and come back to tell the tale, The Tale of Tales. Eco tells us how fiction works, and he also tells us why we love fiction so much. This is no deconstructionist ripping the veil off the Wizard of Oz to reveal his paltry tricks, but the Wizard of Art himself inviting us to join him up at his level, the Sorcerer inviting us to become his apprentice.

Black Hollow. The name itself conjures a sense of dread, whispering of secrets buried deep beneath the surface, of a town shrouded in fear and superstition. A place where the past clings to the present, where the whispers of the dead carry a chilling weight, and where the lines between reality and myth blur into an unsettling tapestry of the unknown. Detective Sophie Barnes, a seasoned investigator with a sharp mind and an unwavering belief in logic, finds herself drawn into the chilling mystery that engulfs Black Hollow. A young girl, Amelia, has been found dead within the eerie Whispering Woods, her death attributed by the villagers to the vengeful spirit that haunts the town. Sophie, a rational woman who dismisses the supernatural as mere folklore, sets out to uncover the truth behind Amelia's death. But as she delves deeper into the case, she encounters a web of secrets that defy logic, whispers that seem to carry a voice of their own, and an unsettling energy that permeates the very air of Black Hollow. The murders that follow, each bearing the mark of the bizarre and inexplicable, force Sophie to confront the terrifying reality that the whispers of the woods might hold more truth than she ever imagined. Prepare to step into a world where the living and the dead walk side by side, where fear is a tangible force, and where the chilling truth can unravel even the strongest mind.
