DeLint Conquers Time
Fans of Newford will love this latest collection of stories. DeLint is a master of urban fantasy. While his novels are wonderful he excells at the short story. No predictable happy endings, where everyone solves there problems and the bad guy is punished. No offical bad guys, just real life people who have there reallity questions.
Old favorites return, older more mature, but not beaten down. New charactors appear, as in dept as only DeLint can make them.
Muse and Reverie has the flow of time troughout. Some travel back in time to solve a wrong. Others deal with time passing and there inability to stop it. The best thing about this book is tring to guess were you'll end up only to be found you are horribly wrong. A must read for any Fan of Newford.2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

These thirteen Newford tales all appeared in other collections between 2001 and 2005, but never together
These thirteen Newford tales all appeared in other collections between 2001 and 2005, but never together. In fact none appeared in the same anthology with several different publishers offering Newford stories as part of various author compilations and one tale (A Crow Girls' Charismas) was an online entry. All are super, size matters as the best shorts are the longer ones; like "The Butter Spirit's Tithe", "Riding Shotgun" and "Da Slockit Light" as the key characters of each come across human and inhuman, which in turn enhances the de Lint twist that feels as if the author places O'Henry and Bret Harte in the Twilight Zone. The best read is "The Hour Before Dawn"; this well written compilation is Charles de Lint at his best as he leaves his fans to Muse and Reverie the impact of placing "The World in a Box".
