Library Journal
From an eerie morality tale about prejudice and hope ("Mister Magister") to a haunting story of a young woman's fascination with a forbidden dance ("The Dancer in the Darkness"), the 18 stories and one play in this collection demonstrate the evolution of Monteleone's talent over a period spanning nearly three decades (1974-2001). The Bram Stoker Award- winning author combines an uncanny sense of real life and its trials with an overlay of the supernatural to produce dark fantasy that engages the mind as much as the emotions. For short story and fantasy or horror collections. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
