Moonlight & Vines
Moonlight & Vines | Charles de Lint
8 posts | 10 read | 2 to read
Familiar to Charles de Lint's ever-growing audience as the setting of the novels Memory & Dream, Trader, and Someplace To Be Flying, Newford is the quintessential North American city, tough and streetwise on the surface and rich with hidden magic for those who can see. Now de Lint returns to this extraordinary city for a third volume of short stories set there, including several never before published in book form. Here is enchantment under a streetlamp: the landscape of urban North America as only Charles de Lint can show it. "Blending Lovecraft's imagery, Dunsany's poetry, Carroll's surrealism, and Alice Hoffman's small-town strangeness," wrote Interzone on Dreams Underfoot, de Lint's Newford tales are "a haunting mixture of human warmth and cold inevitability, of lessons learned and prices to be paid."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved my first step into Newford! I‘m looking forward to reading more about this magical and fantastical town! My favorite story in this collection was The Big Sky. Definitely recommend for those who haven‘t read the excellent writing of de Lint.

I love the Newford books so so much and the short stories are even better than the novels. De Lint is brilliant and knows how to write "magic"

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4y

I picked this up for 50 cents at a thrift store today. I haven't read de Lint since college and I'd forgotten how much I love his work. And this one is short stories, so it fits my hectic weekend. 💛💛💛

Pogue He is one of my favorite authors. I can't wait to read his new book. 7y
GondorGirl @Pogue I think I'm going to have to start tracking down more of his books. I have no idea why I stopped reading him. 7y
