Reave the Just and Other Tales (Ace trade paperback edition.)

Stephen R. Donaldson's unique talents have placed his work alongside that of J.R.R.

Tolkien and established him as a writer with the rare ability to expand readers' imaginations.

Now he presents a magnificent new collection of eight stories and novellas--three of which have never before been published.This outstanding volume commences with the fablelike title story, Reave the Just, which highlights one of Donaldson's favorite themes: the individual's power to overcome adversity.

This collection also introduces the morbid, soul-taking hero of Penance, the mysterious beggar woman in the dark fairy tale The Woman Who Loved Pigs, and the pampered antihero forced to make a choice between virtue and vice in The Djinn Who Watches Over the Accursed.Boasting exotic settings and suspense fueled by sudden plot twists, Reave the Just and Other Tales is a testament to Stephen R.

Donaldson's talent to spin unforgettably spellbinding stories, and the astonishing scope of his mastery of magic and myth.
