BUY THIS BOOK:
If you buy from Book View Café, I make three times as much and you pay the same as when you buy from other retailers.
Step across the threshold from this reality to another.
New, improved, updated, amplified! Fantasy stories of every kind from Book View Cafe members.
A ghostly whisper that teases your senses; a flick of a dragon tail across the full moon; the baying of an otherworldly creature. Is it your imagination, or something…more?
These are the stories that take us to the lands the dead, to strange happenings in our midst, to alternate time lines and unfamiliar rules of nature. They make us think “What if?” as we shiver with delight, curiosity, laughter—or fear.
In these pages, you’ll find some of our best adventures in fantasy literature: out of print and hard to find gems as well as first-time peeks at new work, from both beloved authors and—maybe—some new discoveries as well.
We at Book View Café invite you to step across the threshold from this reality into another. Or is that otherworld real and we are merely the imaginings of writers, dreamers, and believers?
-Phyllis Irene Radford and Shannon Page, editors
