Gene Wolfe The Sorceror's House March 15, Tor Books 2011 0765324598 / 9780765324597 First Edition Edition Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day After Release date* A man inherits a huge, magical house in Gene Wolfe's new contemporary fantasy novel When scholar and ex-con Baxter Dunn arrives in the Midwest town of Medicine Man, he learns that a mysterious benefactor has deeded him a rambling old house. As the building grows around him, Bax encounters a number of wonders and terrors, including family secrets, windows into Faerie, and a murderous animal dubbed the Hound of Horror. However, the greatest challenge Bax faces may be his twin brother’s jealousy and rage. Both terrifying and touching, this book of wonders speaks eloquently about the nature of responsibility and family, but Wolfe’s unforgettable world is marred by stereotypes-a flighty and submissive Japanese woman, a scandalmongering journalist, a rapacious and sadistic dwarf-and a rushed, incoherent ending. 9780765324597 0.00 Price:
