Список книг автора Darrell SchweitzerThe Shattered Goddess
Fantasy novel by the World Fantasy Award-winning editor and author. «Few writers can genguinely touch the quality of nightmare…the fear that formless and almost banal stems from the sleeping mind. John Bellairs did it with THE FACE IN THE FROST… James Blaylock can do it. And now there is also THE SHATTERED GODDESS.» –Mary Gentle

Echoes of the Goddess
"[This] novel has immense power in its climax," said The Encyclopedia of Fantasy about Darrell Schweitzer's 1982 novel, THE SHATTERED GODDESS. Now, at last, here's the companion volume to that work, a cycle of eleven stories set «in the time of the death of the Goddess.» This is an Earth of the far future, when the planet has declined into chaos, and darkness looms at the end of human history. Here you'll meet…a dadar, a wizard's shadow attempting to become a man; two sorcerers grotesquely transformed by their fratricidal hatred; a musician who becomes the lord of death; a boy-priest consumed by divine visions; and a witch who loves a god, among many others. Here's strangeness, wonder, and terror in the tradition of Clark Ashton Smith's Xothique or Jack Vance's The Dying Earth. Schweitzer is a master fantasist, whom anthologist Mike Ashley once called «today's supreme stylist.» Great fantasy reading, now collected into book form for the first time!
