He is not well known, but has produced an admirable body of work, all of which I'd term as Dark Fantasy. Many of his books center around the archetypal town of Newford ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 10:52:02 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 01 19:59:01 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Apr 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Feb 05 06:37:35 -0800 2008 Sun Apr 13 18:48:32 -0700 2008
