We Never Talk about My Brother

Featuring the Locus Award?winning novelette, ?By Moonlight”<br/><br/>The extraordinary stories in this new contemporary fantasy collection show a mature, darker side of the author of The Last Unicorn in modern parables of love, death, and transformation shadowed lightly with melancholy.<br/><br/>The Angel of Death enjoys newfound celebrity while moonlighting as an anchorman on the network news; King Pelles the Sure, the shortsighted ruler of a gentle realm, betrays himself in dreaming of a ?manageable war”; an American librarian discovers that, much to his surprise and sadness, he is also the last living Frenchman; and rivals in a supernatural battle forgo pistols at dawn, choosing instead to duel with dramatic recitations of terrible poetry.<br/><br/>Featuring previously unpublished stories alongside recently published classics, this is a lovely, haunting, and wholly satisfying read.
