Reviews

"De Lint is a master of the modern urban folk tale." --The Denver Post "It is hard to imagine urban fantasy done better then it is by de Lint at his best." --Booklist "In de Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth." --The Phoenix Gazette
