THE DARRELL SCHWEITZER LIBRARY

Here is a list of  the complete Schweitzer Library, or at least what is available. Postage would be $2.00 for the first book, $2.00 for the next hardcover or next two paperbacks, to a maximum of $6.00. No postage charge
for pamphlets if ordered with something else. Otherwise $1.00 for first one, $1.00 for next three.

Novels:

The Shattered Goddess. SF Book Club (a reprint of the British edition, NEL, 1996, but the book was first published by Donning, 1982). Epic/horrific fantasy set in the year 2 Million. See The Encyclopedia of Fantasy for a description of this. $10.00

The White Isle (Weird Tales Library/Owlswick, 1989). Revision of 1980 Fantastic serial. Descent into the land of the dead, etc. I don't use the word "epic" here loosely. It might be described as a weird fantasy novel
that uses formal epic conventions. Was $18.95. Now on sale at $9.99. You've seen me put this on eBay a couple times.

Story collections:

We Are All Legends. Wildside Press, 2000. Linked stories about a Crusader knight who has had a falling out with God and thus has numerous unorthodox supernatural adventures.

Signed Limited Hardcover On Sale for $20.00. One of 150 copies signed by me and Fabian. World fantasy award finalist for best collection.

Refugees From An Imaginary Country. Owlswick/Ganley, 1999. Illus. by Fabian. If you were to pick one, pick this one. It is my best collection, I think nudging a couple of the others out by a small margin.
