Thune's Vision by Schuyler Hernstrom (English) Paperback Book

Description: Thune's Vision by Schuyler Hernstrom Eight stories of sword and sorcery, each a passport to new country, a point of departure for even wider vistas. Here is a voice which can tell of beauty in a moment, a heretofore unremarked weirdness in the old constellations, a sly joke. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In these eight short fictions, Hernstrom feeds on an autochthon rage, speaks directly but not simply in tones strong enough to convey sibilant victory or the clamor of disaster. Somehow he also manages to imbue dark tales with a mordant wit many admire, but few can match. He sings no simple paean. He tells no careworn tale. He advances no fallen guidon but has instead fashioned his own standard from those of the fallen. A contemporary reader can instantly mark the salient staked out by this collection across a no-mans land mired in imitation. Hernstroms flag is one to which stout hearts rally. This book is a passport to new country, a point of departure for even wider vistas. Here is a voice which can tell of beauty in a moment, a heretofore unremarked weirdness in the old constellations, a sly joke. Here is a voice up for anything. Author Biography SCHUYLER HERNSTROM is named after P. Schuyler Miller, a family friend. He spent his youth reading and rereading the works of Jack Vanceand Robert E. Howard. He has been a paratrooper, sailor, janitor, bouncer, librarian, and a dozen other things, and so brings a world-wise slant to his pages. His readers witness bloody action recounted in graceful prose, tinted by a sadness for lost ages. Sky lives in Pittsburgh with his wife and children. Review This collection is gold. Like the best Robert E. Howard, Jack Vance, and Fritz Leiber stories blended together but at the same time coming off as original... You would have thought that a book like this could never happen.
