Customer Reviews

De Lint included

Being an avid De Lint fan I bought this book since he is included. Interesting collection of stories. Nice to read other things from other authors besides my favorite De Lint. Something different to buy.

Well handled

Thank you for the great service. The seller contacted me to let me know there would be a slight delay in shipping the book due to bad weather in the area. I am very happy with the way it was handled and the book arrived shortly there after in perfect condition.

Who knew?

I've been reading this on my morning bus commute. I've missed my stop twice because I was so engrossed in one of the tales. I'm a Charles DeLint fan which is why I bought the book. It introduced me to a whole bunch of interesting Canadian writers with great stories to tell. The famous Canadian monster story is a hoot. Who knew Canada had so many national monsters?
