Oakland Dragon Blues and Other Stories (2023)
(Essential Peter S. Beagle, book 2)
Peter S Beagle
"Master enchanter Peter S. Beagle is best known for his novel The Last Unicorn, a book which has charmed generations of readers. But the briefer enchantments collected in these two volumes also brim with the deepest and truest of his magical powers: with laughter, with wisdom, and with the ineffable pleasure of the imaginary memories he shares. From the gradually refined focus of 'Professor Gottesman and the Indian Rhinoceros' to 'Vanishing''s crankily slipped-and-skewed perspective, these are visions of an inner world all of us need to visit again and again. Each tale is a spell welcoming our hearts to their real home: wonder."
Night Shift (2022)
Eileen Gunn
"If 'umami' described how stories feel in your mind instead of how food tastes, I would say everything Eileen does is infused with umami."
Ring Shout (2020)
P Djèlí Clark
"Phenderson Djeli Clark’s Ring Shout puts a weapon wielding our diaspora’s emotional power.... Ring Shout is a cry of release; a daring, darling, victory dance; a magical exhortation to move, be, and do our very best; and an adventure tale sharp and sweet as a first kiss."
