  • Eyes like leaves

    Creator

    De Lint, Charles

    Abstract

    Magic is already fading in the Green Isles, but it's still a time when myths walk the world and the children of the ancient gods are engaged in one final confrontation. However, when legendary creatures wage war, it's the ordinary people who suffer the consequences-- unless they, themselves, can find a way to bring an end to the hostilities. The trouble is, not all of them are able to pick a side.

  • The flames

    Creator

    Stapledon, Olaf

    Abstract

    The story takes the form of a long letter written by one old university friend to another. The recipient of the letter, known only as "Thos" (a college nickname, short for "Doubting Thomas") introduces the strange document, from a friend known only as "Cass" (another nickname; short for "Cassandra", an allusion to the friend's apparently prophetic abilities). Cass is regarded as a harmless eccentric by his friends, but Thos notes that his prophecies and preoccupations, wild as they may seem, have a habit of coming true.
