Reave The Just And Other Tales: Stephen Donaldson

The Tales include: The Djinn Who Watches Over the Accursed - an unnerving fable about a reckless adulterer; The Killing Stroke - in which martial-arts masters fight as champions in a great mind-battle between mages; Penance - a haunting story of a vampire who roams a battlefield, searching for the dying; Reave the Just - which demonstrates that neither brute force nor alchemy can contend with the power of suggestion. Other Tales in this volume: The Kings of Tarsish Shall Bring Gifts; The Woman Who Loved Pigs; What Makes Us Human; By Any Other Name. Cover art by Kevin Jenkins.
