Book Overview
Featuring the Locus Award-winning novelette, "By Moonlight" The extraordinary stories in this new contemporary fantasy collection show a mature, darker side of the author of The Last Unicorn in modern parables of love, death, and transformation shadowed lightly with melancholy. The Angel of Death enjoys newfound celebrity while moonlighting as an anchorman on the network news; King Pelles the Sure, the shortsighted ruler of a gentle realm, betrays himself in dreaming of a "manageable war"; an American librarian discovers that, much to his surprise and sadness, he is also the last living Frenchman; and rivals in a supernatural battle forgo pistols at dawn, choosing instead to duel with dramatic recitations of terrible poetry. Featuring previously unpublished stories alongside recently published classics, this is a lovely, haunting, and wholly satisfying read.

I was so excited to get this book. I have loved previous works by this author and had heard great things about this book of stories. The first story involves a painter, an angel (?) who comes to model, and a little boy enchanted by the whole thing. I found this story to be wonderful. But the title story was confusing and sounded like it was just a remake of the first story. Additionally, I didn't connect with the rest of the book. The writing is still as excellent as always, I just didn't find any of the other stories that caused a spark in me.
