SYNOPSIS: Lurking at the edges of mind and will, dimly perceived--the inhabitants of the realm of the supernatural, brought into chilling focus by a science fiction master. The Miracle Workers - Demonologists at play in a medieval super future. When the Five Moons Rise - A lonely lighthouse keeper terrorized by hellish visions in psychedelic outer space. Telek - A telekinetic aristocracy of mind and will, beyond earthly law but vulnerable to human retribution. Noise - An earthling explorer in an eerie outer-world, seduced by--and abandoned to--silence. The New Prime - A galactic ruler, chosen in a grueling telepathic contest. Cil - Devastation unleashed by a roguish vagabond in the twenty-millionth century. Guyal of Sfere - A space age Gawain undone by his insatiable thirst for knowledge. The Men Return - The last rational man in a remote wasteland, a meaningless non-causal world where sanity has no sanctuary and mad mutant cannibals reign supreme. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
