Book description
Three stories, each one involving a man who discovers that he has come
to dwell, for an hour or for a lifetime, in a house and in a mind not
quite his own. Each one opens doors onto rooms of illusion, radiance,
regret, and dark enchantment. Welcome to the stories of three young
writers, stories written in collaboration with James P. Blaylock.
Welcome to the borderland of illusion and reality. James P. Blaylock
was born in Long Beach, California, in 1950, and attended California
State University, where he received an MA. He was befriended and
mentored by Philip K. Dick, along with his contemporaries K. W. Jeter
and Tim Powers, and is regarded - along with Powers and Jeter - as one
of the founding fathers of the steampunk movement. Winner of two World
Fantasy Awards and a Philip K. Dick Award, he is currently director of
the Creative Writing Conservatory at the Orange County High School of
the Arts, where Tim Powers is Writer in Residence.
