Where Desert Spirits Crowd the Night

Where Desert Spirits Crowd the Night

A charming novella about one of Newfordâ€™s best-loved characters: artist and dreamer Sophie Etoile. Lured by mystical Native American flute-player Kokopelli, Sophie opens a door in her dreams only to find herself in the wild Sonoran desert, her way back vanished. In her quest to return she gets sidetracked by Coyote, up to his usual mischief. A poignant tale touching on loss, hope and community.

First published in Worlds of Fantasy and Horror #2, Fall, 1994. Cover art by Stephanie Lostimolo (http://www.nethersphere.com/art.html).

Charles de Lint is the modern master of urban fantasy. Folktale, myth, fairy tale, dreams, urban legendâ€”all of it adds up to pure magic in de Lint's vivid, original world. No one does it better.
â€” Alice Hoffman

Charles de Lint writes like a magician. He draws out the strange inside our own world, weaving stories that feel more real than we are when we read them. He is, simply put, the best.
â€” Holly Black

De Lint is probably the finest contemporary author of fantasy
â€“ Booklist, American Library Association

Unlike most fantasy writers who deal with battles between ultimate good and evil, de Lint concentrates on smaller, very personal conflicts. Perhaps this is what makes him accessible to the non-fantasy audience as well as the hard-core fans. Perhaps itâ€™s just damned fine writing.
â€“ Quill & Quire

De Lintâ€™s evocative images, both ordinary and fantastic, jolt the imagination.
