Member recommendations

  1. Kerian recommends Seven Wild Sisters by Charles De Lint
  2. Kerian recommends Dreams Underfoot: The Newford Collection by Charles de Lint, "Memory and Dream takes place before Dreams Underfoot. A difference is that it's a novel versus a collection of short stories. If you wish (see more) to continue with short stories in this series, The Ivory and the Horn is the next short story collection."

Amazing. My first de Lint book. Contemporary, realistic fantasy at its finest. A painter's art come to life. There are many threads to this result. I am going to go out and get more of his books immediately. Recommend highly. ( )

Such a great book. I loved reading about how all the paintings came to liek and the stories of all the paintings. It was such an interesting concept for a book. Once again I was blown away by Charles de Lint's ability to connect fantasy to real world situations and problems. ( )

Artist and art abuse, perhaps.

The fantasy part of this books comes through a painter, who is your usual broke artist type, and she definitely has not had that happy an existence in the past.

So, the question is that of new art mentor looking to guide her in the art of magical painting as such - is this person actually going to help, or be yet another abuser to come along?

A bit on the dull side, this one.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0765316781, Paperback)

Isabelle Copley’s visionary art frees ancient spirits. As the young student of the cruel, brilliant artist Vincent Rushkin, she discovered she could paint images so vividly real they brought her wildest fantasies to life. But when the forces she unleashed brought tragedy to those she loved, she turned her back on her talent — and on her dreams. 
 
Now, twenty years later, Isabelle must come to terms with the shattering memories she has long denied, and unlock the slumbering power of her brush. And, in a dark reckoning with her old master, she must find the courage to live out her dreams and bring the magic back to life.
