The scary, lush, and complex stories of a seminal fantasy author are presented in this retrospective collection. In 'The Unicorn Tapestry', a therapist finds herself transformed by a client who may be a vampire. A young girl discovers the pitfalls of puberty and an animal nature in 'Boobs'; an unlikely shaman finds protection in an unwilling ally in 'Peregrines'; and in the dark retelling of the two fairy tales 'Beauty and the Opéra or The Phantom Beast', a tempestuous maestro meets his equal. Also included are two of Charnas's essays, 'Art Is Long', an insightful and entertaining look at the unusual process of writing a four-book trilogy, and 'The Stagestruck Vampire', an autobiographical look at the author as a playwright.
