If I had, I dont think Id ever have picked up another de Lint book. Married since 1980 to his fellow musician MaryAnn Harris, Charles de Lint lives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Just dont start with his early novel Wolf Moon. Among de Lint's many other novels are Mulengro, Jack the Giant-Killer, and The Little Country. In addition, de Lint has published several collections of Newford short stories, including Moonlight and Vines, for which he won the World Fantasy Award. The Newford novels include Spirit Walk, Memory and Dream, Trader, Someplace To Be Flying, Forests of the Heart, The Onion Girl, and Spirits in the Wires. The hero of the tale, the lonely wanderer Kern, is a werewolf.
In Wolf Moon, one of de Lint's earlier novels and a rare excursion for him into high fantasy, the harper Tuiloch is the black-hearted evil. Moonheart was set in and around "Newford," an imaginary modern North American city, and many of de Lint's subsequent novels have been set in Newford as well, with a growing cast of characters who weave their way in and out of the stories. Trust Charles de Lint to put a new spin on an old theme. Now he is the most feared of beings: a werewolf.
