Darrell Schweitzer

Darrell Schweitzer's career stretches back to the early 1970s. He has written novels, most notably The Mask of the Sorcerer (1995), which was expanded from a World Fantasy Award finalist novella, but he has probably most distinguished himself for a steady stream of short fiction which caused anthologist Mike Ashley (in The Mammoth Book of Sorcerers' Tales) to call him "today's supreme stylist" in the fantasy field.

Darrell Schweitzer's first novel is a powerful tale of Prince Evnos of Iankoros, who seeks to reclaim his bride from the God of Death. Rich with strange sorceries, grim mythologies, and hostile gods, this is a tale of heroism and horror, seeming triumph and subsequent tragedy, and strange turns of fate which none of the characters could possible foresee. It is a modern classic reminiscent of E.R. Eddison, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Lord Dunsany ... and yet uniquely the author's own.

This straight-line approach does not rule out suspense, trickery, or depth of portraiture. Quite to the contr...

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

"[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 grotesque...
