Lud-In-The-Mist
reviewed on + 296 more book reviews


"The book begins as a travelogue or a history, becomes a pastorale, a low comedy, a high comedy, a ghost story and a detective story. The writing is elegant, supple, effective, and haunting: the author demands a great deal from her readers, which she repays many times over... a little golden miracle of a book." -Neil Gaiman , author of Stardust, Neverwhere, and American Gods

"A fantasy novel for adults - incomparably rich and strange, but as familiar as a lost chance or an aching heart or the sense that no one around you will ever really understand anything." - Ellen Kushner, author of Swordspoint and host of PRI's Sound&Spirit radio show

"Lud-in-the-Mist is simultaneously one of the least known and most influential of modern fantasies. It is an underground classic among fantasists, many of whom list it among their favorite books." - Michael Swanwick
