    Book Price: $795.00

NIFFT THE LEAN Follow the adventures of Nifft the Lean, the master thief whose felonious appropriations and larcenous skills will lead through Stygian realms to challenge your most lurid fantasies and errant imaginings. Places where horror, harm and long eerie calms flow past the traveller in endless, unpredictable succession. Travel the man whose long, rawboned, sticky fingers and stark length of arm will lead you down to the vermiculous grottos of the demon sea, to stand beneath the subworld's lurid sky and battle monsters who seem the spiritual distillation of human evil itself! This new edition features dustjacket artwork by Stanislav Dikolenko, interior black & white illustrations by Francesco Giani, frontispiece artwork by Michael Whelan, two maps by Linda Shea, an afterword, illustrated with photographs, by Linda Shea, and an introduction by Tim Powers. THE MINES OF BEHEMOTH By Crack, Key, and Cauldron! Nifft the Lean, our spirited and wily thief extraordinaire, has proclaimed his second coming in the novel-length adventure, The Mines of Behemoth. Travel the man whose long, rawboned, sticky fingers and stark length of arm will lead you down to the vermiculous grottos of the demon sea, to stand beneath the subworld's lurid sky and battle monsters who seem the spiritual distillation of human evil itself! Here his treacherous journey is made just a touch less daunting with the axe and mace wielding Barnar Hammer-Hand by his side. That is, even if his colleague was the catalyst for the whole trek, which finds them navigating the seas around the Angelheim Islands, roving the plains of Latter Kairnlaw, and negotiating the quartz-lined sap mines of the Broken Axle Mountains. A most perilous quest if there ever was one! But when the allure of bountiful riches is a proven draw, this pair cannot evade its pervasive clutches. Both books are signed and in fine condition but the numbers do not match. Rights will be transferred to the buyer for book three so they can purchase it directly from the publisher with a number that matches Mines of Behemoth. Inquire directly for PayPal invoicing and reduced shipping.
