The Harpers and Other Stories

A collection of sixteen fantasy, science fiction and horror stories originally published in a fantasy society magazine. In "The Harpers", young Elliot is just trying to keep out of his brother's way so that he stops throwing fireballs, a task made more difficult by the soldiers who have arrived to arrest their mage-lord father. William is anticipating the arrival of a new vampire paramour to share his love of the city's "Neon Lights", but it doesn't go according to plan. Computer intelligence "McGellen" is struggling to adjust to the awakening of her crew from their long sleep, humans make such a mess of ship's functions. With other tales ranging from medieval fantasies to ship-set science fictions, the collection is rounded out with "Josh and Jethabel", the original short form version of the novel "Jethabel".
