Whee! Lookit what I found!
From the Charles de Lint section of http://www.sfsite.com :
"Every year at Christmas time I write a short story for MaryAnn that I publish in chapbook form through my Triskell Press imprint. I've been doing this for more than twenty years now; the earliest stories were printed in editions of only one copy. It wasn't long before we decided to share the chapbooks as a Christmas gift for friends and family. In recent years, the stories have been reprinted in magazines, convention program books and my own short story collections—but their first breath of life has always been in chapbook form."
This one was written in 2001 and is in the Triskell Tales 2 compilation:
A Crow Girls Christmas
(Iesu look at my surprise: Lucius MOVES!)
(And please don't throw things at me for only discovering this now, thou lovely and faithful readers; I've been acquiring my de Lint from the bottom up. I figure it'll take longer for Widdershins to go out of print than Moonheart or my personal favorite, Someplace to be Flying.)
Edit: Oh my... Other people's sites say "read an excerpt" and then give you a paragraph and a half, maybe a page full of snapshot of one odd character to hook you and make you curious.
Mr. de Lint? Generous soul that he is, he gives you this. Hooked, I was already. Have been since the first time I picked up Moonlight & Vines in Chattanooga. Curious, too, because dammit, it's Newford that I haven't read my way up to understanding all of.
No no...this makes me hungry...
~quiet grin, sigh~
Yesyes. I'll get round to it. Just like I'll get round to finishing the laundry.
Just as soon as I've devoured the excerpt.
