Gene Wolfe's magnificent fantasy fuses the England of Arthur and contemporary Castleview, Illinois, a place where the barrier between the two times and worlds is bleak. It is the occasional view of a phantom castle on stormy nights that gives the town its name. A dazzling glimpse of the castle helps Will E. Shields decide to buy the house the real estate agent is showing him. A giant horseman thundering out of the rain and a brutal murder is discovered soon after Shields and his family move in. Thus begins a series of escalating mysterious events as Morgan Le Fay sends her minions into the breach, unleashing centuries of pent-up fury on the small midwestern town.

"Like all of Wolfe's work, Castleview is a game and an act of reverence--a fine dream of superb gallantry."

Los Angeles Times

"Gene Wolfe is as good a writer as there is today."
