About this title

Synopsis

This is Storm Constantine's first hardback collection, bringing together the full range of her characters and ideas. Here are tales of the Grigori, the Nephilim, and the world of the Wraeththu. Here are stories of science fiction, fairy tale and dark fantasy; of prophets, princesses, and practical wizards, the ancient past and the far future. Her themes explore the intersections of science and magic and revel in the ancient mysteries of the past. This hardback edition is SIGNED by the author and numbered in a 1000 copy print run. Michael Moorcock provides a fine introduction: "Storm Constantine's vivid, exotic imagery, her flowing prose, bring an emotional substance to her work not commonly found in genre fiction...[she is] an authentic 21st century talent."

About the Author

Storm Constantine has been writing since childhood. In 1985 she began work on the first of her Wraeththu Trilogy, THE ENCHANTMENTS OF FLESH AND SPIRIT, which was quickly accepted and published in 1987 by MacDonald in the U.K. and TOR in the U.S. Since then, she has published eleven more novels. Her most recent work includes the modern-day Grigori Trilogy, published in the U.S. by Meisha Merlin, and SEA DRAGON HEIR, to be published by Tor. Lately, Constantine's writing has turned to books on psychic development (INWARD REVOLUTION) and an exploration of ancient feline deities (BAST AND SEKHMET: EYES OF RA). On her way to becoming a successful writer, Constantine has also managed a rock band, worked in experimental video, exhibited and sold her own art work, and become co-editor with Eloise Coquio of "Visionary Tongue," a dark fantasy magazine. She lives with her partner, Jim Hibbert, a friend, seven cats and a confused dog in an historic part of the English Midlands, close to ancient hunting grounds and far from the industrial dark of the black country.

We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish.
