One of many books about what happens when the world of Faerie intersects the real world. I really enjoyed this book, particularly because it was set in Western New York. Feist did a good job with it too! ( )

In a nutshell, this is the story of a man who moves to the country and discovers there are supernatural beasties living on his property. In this case, the beasties are faeries straight out of Celtic myth. It felt a bit contrived, but some visuals were reasonably compelling. Parts of it are a bit dated (MRI was in its infancy, for example) and the characters were mostly a touch flat. I did like Gary and Mark quite a bit, but - though it would have been completely unheard-of at the time - they would have worked better as a couple than merely coworkers. All the same, I probably won't go out of my way to read more Feist. ( )

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, thought it would make an interesting RPG Oneshot (nWoD Innocents/Changeling crossover if you're interested). Wasn't so keen on the ending really. ( )

This was a good dark fantasy set in the modern day. I liked the intermixing of Celtic mythical creatures with twentieth century people. I especially liked how the twins Patrick and Sean learn how to cope in the faerie world. ( )

Very dark. I liked it. The "Fairies" are not warm & cuddly, or even just michievious...they are ruthless, without compassion, and otherworldly, with a completely different set of morals than those of human beings. This is a much more accurate picture of those beings than what we usually get. ( )

Faerie Tale

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553277839, Mass Market Paperback)

Phil Hastings was a lucky man-he had money, a growing reputation as a screenwriter, a happy, loving family with three kids, and he'd just moved into the house of his dreams in rural of magic-and about to be altered irrevocably by a magic more real than any he dared imagine. For with the Magic came the Bad Thing, and the Faerie, and then the cool. . .and the resurrection of a primordial war with a forgotten people-a war that not only the Hastings but the whole human race could lose.
