Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Fantasy?
Recently, someone asked about fantasy books to proof. I thought I saved the
email, but now it's gone.
Whoever it is, would you be interested in a book called Baker's Dozen: 13 Short
Fantasy Novels? The stories in the book are each about 40 to 60 pages long so
the total is about 620 pages. From the back cover of the book, the stories are:
POUL ANDERSON, The Gate of the Flying Knives--A Thieves' World tale wherein the
hero ruefully decides that the rewards of chivalry are not as desirable as they
may seem.
SUZY McKEE CHARNAS, Unicorn Tapestry--The tale of a modern-day encounter with a
vampire that explores different perceptions of the same reality.
AVRAM DAVIDSON, Sleep Well of Nights--A prophetic dream leads to hidden
treasure and buried secrets in the eerie jungles of South America.
SIR H. RIDER HAGGARD, Black Heart and White Heart--An arrogant hunter in Zulu
territory learns too late that magic serves those who believe in its power.
ROBERT E. HOWARD, Red Nails--Conan the Cimmerian meets his match in a defiant,
courageous female when the two are caught in a war to the death between dueling
clans.
JOHN JAKES, Storm in a Bottle--In a story of wizardry and betrayal, a captive
attempts to break the curse of drought that is strangling the land of his
overlords.
FRITZ LEIBER, Ill Met in Lankhmar --The 1970 Nebula Award winner for Best
Novella. Two thieves in a fantastic and awful city invite a dreadful end by
stealing in others' territory.
MICHAEL MOORCOCK, The Lands Beyond the World--Elric, Prince of Melibone,
travels through the Crimson Gate to another world where he confronts the
powerful magic of an ancestor.
JANET MORRIS, A Man and His God--Another Thieves' World story about Tempus of
Sanctuary who fights a terrible destiny and triumphs over his past
transgressions to find himself and his own god.
ANDRE NORTON, Spider Silk--A blind woman journeys to a dangerous land to obtain
the secret of exquisite weaving and learns a greater secret no seeker before
her has lived to tell.
THOMAS BURNETT SWANN, Where Is the Bird of Fire?--A faun's heartbreaking story
of the enchanted land of the gods and of the brothers Romulus and Remus before
the building of Rome.
JACK VANCE, Guyal of Sfere--A story of coming-of-age in a far world, in a far
distant time, wherein Guyal of Sfere defies a great power in his quest for love
and knowledge.
ROGER ZELAZNY, Tower of Ice--In a fantastic frozen land a brave knight seeks an
evil wizard, saves a princess, and forces a cataclysmic battle between good and
evil.
If the you (whoever you are) want it, let me know and I'll put Hold for on it
(as soon as I know who to put hold for).
