[STARRED REVIEW] "This marvelous short fiction retrospective
testifies to the breadth of Williams's creativity."
--Publishers Weekly
Within these pages you will find such delightful and curious things as a
strange storytelling vampire, two woefully-overmatched angels, a dragon
in cahoots with a knight and a witch, an ineptly duplicitous fish, the
loyal robot butler of Werner Von Secondstage Booster, and the Greatest
Wizard of All (disputed).
From his epic fantasy series, including Memory Sorrow and Thorn--which
George R. R. Martin cited as an inspiration for Game of Thrones--to
the classic novel Tailchaser's Song, Tad Williams has mastered every
genre he has set his pen to. Here are the stories that showcase the
exhilarating breadth of Williams' imagination, hearkening back to such
classic fantasists as J. R. R. Tolkien, Ray Bradbury, Peter S. Beagle,
and beyond. Whether you are a devoted reader of his longer works,
already a devotee of his short fiction, or even new to his writing
entirely, The Very Best of Tad Williams is the perfect place to
discover one of the most talented and versatile authors writing at any
length today.
