An odd couple patrols a county full of mythological beasts and ornery locals. A familiar youngster from the world of THE LAST UNICORN is gifted in magic but terrible at spell-casting. A seemingly incorruptible judge meets his match in a mysterious thief who steals his heart. Two old friends discover that the Overneath goes anywhere, including locations better left unvisited.
Lyrical, witty, and insightful, THE OVERNEATH is Peter S. Beagle's much-anticipated return to the short form. In these uniquely beautiful and wholly original tales, with new and uncollected work, Beagle once again proves himself a master of the imagination.
Another excellent collection, and no easy endings here.
