The Best of Lucius Shepard
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. This fine selection of some of the best short fiction by one of the most respected dark fantasy writers in the world will be a must purchase for aficionados of the genre. Among the stories included are The Man Who Painted the Dragon Griaule, wherein an artist devotes his life to the illumination of a dormant, mile-long dragon; Salvador, where a Vietnam-like conflict rages in a future Central America; Jack's Decline, the sly and gruesome tale of an elderly Jack the Ripper confronting Nazi Germany; Radiant Green Star, set in a future Southeast Asia replete with circuses, revenge and the last living American POW; and Only Partially Here, a harrowing tale of strange happenings in the pit left by the fall of the World Trade Center. Shepard is fantasy literature's Joseph Conrad or perhaps its Saul Bellow, a writer who never tires of staring directly into the abyss. (Aug.)
