In this new collection of his nonfiction, well-known critic and novelist Darrell Schweitzer covers a broad range of matters fantastical, including a massive reconsideration of The Lord of the Rings, pieces on Neil Gaiman and E. R. Eddison’s The Worm Ouroboros, the “death” of the horror field, and a not entirely irrelevant visit to the Stoogeum, the world’s largest Three Stooges Museum—plus more essays about H. P. Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, Arthur C. Clarke, Hugo Gernsback, Robert Nathan, alternate histories, and the culture of bookselling. A marvelous read for an evening’s literary entertainment.
