“A contemporary novel of masterful horror replete with magic, fantasy, and more than a little stylish sensuality.”—The Washington Post

Phil Hastings was a lucky man—he had money, a growing reputation as a screenwriter, a happy, loving family with three kids, and he'd just moved into the house of his dreams in rural of magic—and about to be altered irrevocably by a magic more real than any he dared imagine.

For with the Magic came the Bad Thing, and the Faerie, and then the Fool . . . and the resurrection of a primordial war with a forgotten People—a war that not only the Hastings but the whole human race could lose.

“Absorbing, thought-provoking, and thoroughly magical. Feist's skillfully crafted prose illuminates many of the darker sides of fairy stories. . . . Try it as a bedtime story . . . but only on nights when you can take some time getting to sleep.”—The West Coast Review of Books Fantasy Scary Magic Contemporary Paranormal & Urban Fiction Science Fiction

I read this book when it first came out and really liked it, so I anticipated enjoying it again. instead, I could barely stand listening to it and only persevered through 4 chapters. The narration was adequate. Although the male narrator's female voices seem affected and give them an air of insincerity, this is sadly not uncommon and I can usually make allowances for it. in this case however it just added to my overall dissatisfaction with the tone of the book. Maybe it was an 80's-90's fantasy fiction trend, but the characters are too pat, too perfect, and their interactions and interior musings are predictable and what is meant to come across as wry often self-deprecating humor began to grate. The story itself is fine, maybe I have just read too many deeper, darker, better depictions of 'dark faerie' since college days.

I wanted to like it again

I was a big fan of this book when it came out many many years ago and the audible version was just as much fun. The narrator has excellent voice separation and created a very fulfilling experience.

This is by far one of my favorite stories that I can dive I to numerous times. Such a modern blend of fantasy and contemporary themes throughout. I own two signed copies of this novel. Wish he would have written more in the genre.

Modern Fantasy

Not sure where the venom and vitriol comes from in some of these reviews- it’s a fine read, an easier listen, and no doubt, someday, a very good movie. Lends itself to that medium anyway🤷🏻‍♂️

An enjoyable read
