Mirror Kingdoms: The Best of Peter S. Beagle
When New York Times Bestselling writer Tad Williams described Peter S. Beagle as a “bandit prince out to steal reader’s hearts” he spoke a truth that’s been evident for more than 50 years. But during the first four decades of his career Beagle was known mainly as a novelist and screenwriter. Every short fiction piece he wrote was recognized as a classic—“Come Lady Death,” “Lila and the Werewolf,” “Professor Gottesman and the Indian Rhinoceros,” and the tales that made up his collection THE MAGICIAN OF KARAKOSK—but there were only a handful. That changed in 2001, when Beagle turned his attention to short fiction in earnest, producing a stunning array of more than 40 new and award-winning stories during the next decade.
In MIRROR KINGDOMS: THE BEST OF PETER S. BEAGLE, acclaimed genre editor Jonathan Strahan collects his favorite Beagle stories—over 200,000 words worth—in a single volume ranging across 47 years of brilliantly diverse creativity. It’s a book which shows, more than any other, just how successful this bandit prince from the Bronx streets has been, and exactly why the World Fantasy Association honored him with their Lifetime Achievement Award.
Featuring “Two Hearts,” the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning follow up to THE LAST UNICORN, the WSFA Small Press Award winner “El Regalo,” plus wonderful stories like the surrealist “The Last and Only,” the haunting “The Rabbi s Hobby,” and others.
My Son Heydari and the Karkadann
A taut and unique unicorn fable from the Middle-East.
In ancient Persia, there was an era when magical beasts such as dragons were nearly extinct. Young Heydari, the son of an elephant driver, discovers an injured beast bleeding in a cave. It is a rare type of unicorn known as a karkadann: a terrible horned demon the size of a Greek bull, with double hooves, a tails like a lion, and a hide like thick leather plates.
Despite his better judgment, kind Heydari tends to the terrifying animal’s injuries and nurses the fearsome creature back to health. The young man returns day after day, treating and binding the creature’s wounds, bringing it food and water, reciting prayers. If the karkadann recovers, it will become increasingly more dangerous to Heydari and everyone he loves…
Sleight Of Hand
Peter S. Beagle returns with an inspired collection of fantasy stories that showcase his incomparable mastery and range. In these tales—with settings as different as an impossible reconstruction of the Berlin Wall and the kitchen of Mrs. Eunice Giant (72 Fairweather Lane, East-of-the-Bean, Sussex Overhead)—warriors, monsters, and utterly ordinary people struggle with possession and forgiveness, life and love, hate and death…and the choices that come after everything else has been stripped away by Fate. Inside these pages:
—The daughter of the Shark God leaves her Pacific island home, determined to find her mysterious father and hold him accountable for the curse of her own existence.
—A dilapidated dragon, a frustrated cop, and an unapologetic author square off over a dangerously abandoned narrative.
—An enchantress-to-be sings of power, desire, and the ultimate betrayal of her heart.
—In a nothing diner, in a nowhere town, a woman lost in grief learns how to fool Death with one artful shuffle of the deck.
Featuring a new Schmendrick tale set before THE LAST UNICORN, plus twelve other wonderful stories, SLEIGHT OF HAND is suffused with a luminous misdirection that moves the soul as much as it fools the eye. Always ready to delight his readers, Beagle proves yet again that he is a master magician.
