Publisher: Spectra Format: Trade Paperback Length: 496 pages This trade paperback book is issued unsigned, but our copies will be autographed by author Christopher Golden! Description: "Everything [Golden] writes glows with imagination." -- Peter Straub With reviewer praise and raves from industry notables Peter Straub and Stephen King, accolades from Publishers Weekly and Kirkus, and over 8 million copies of his books in print, it's no wonder that Christopher Golden is a bestselling and award-winning novelist. Now, he strikes out into Neil Gaiman territory with the first book in a stunning new trilogy, set between our world and an alternate reality, where myths and legends take on a life of their own. What if a land existed, just across the veil from our own, in which all our myths and legends lived and breathed? And in which those who have vanished from our world-Amelia Earhardt, the Anasazi people-have reappeared? And what if that land is slowly being destroyed? As cities expand and wilderness is consumed on our side of the veil, this other land is slowly losing ground, losing credibility, losing reality. For the two worlds can't coexist on the same plane, and where there is life in one, there must be death in the other. Oliver Bascombe's life is about to change irreparably. It is the night before his wedding, and while he loves his fiancée, this marriage will mean that he must abandon his dreams, toe the line, and follow in his father's footsteps like the dutiful son he has never quite been. But-in a swirl of snow and ice-Jack Frost stumbles across his threshold and into his life. The ice man is dying, and he begs for Oliver's help to save both his life and his beleaguered world. Christopher Golden is the award-winning, L.A. Times bestselling author of such novels as The Ferryman, Strangewood, Prowlers, and the "Body of Evidence" series of teen thrillers, as well as Bantam's The Boys are Back in Town and Wildwood Road. He co-created and co-wrote "Ghosts of Albion," an animated supernatural drama for BBC online. Golden has also written or co-written a great many books and comic books related to the TV series, "Buffy and the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." He lives in Massachusetts with his family, where he is at work on his next novel for Bantam Books. Availability: Usually ships within 2-3 business days. Retail price: $12.00 |
