DESCRIPTION:
Different Kind Of Charles de Lint After purchasing and collecting so many of Charles De Lint's urban fantasy books, reading Angel Of Darkness and From A Whisper To A Scream, it was hard for me to imagine Charles De Lint writing these books, so different where they, but don't get me wrong, I LOVED them! It's just that it didn't seem like him. Really good and exciting books. I'm glad I read them!. Dark Plot Filled with Darkness & Horror I always have to wonder about the minds of the authors who can come up with such diabolically deranged characters; characters like Chad Baker.

Music that summons a different sort of angel--an unearthly and brutally vengeful Angel of Darkness.Originally published in 1990 under the pen name Samuel M. When he combines the agonized vocalizations, he creates a hellish new music. Key, fantasy master Charles de Lint's Angel of Darkness betrays its early-novel status. --Cynthia Ward
Although his first novel was 1984's The Riddle of the Wren, it was with Moonheart, published later that same year, that de Lint made his mark, and established him at the forefront of "urban fantasy," modern fantasy storytelling set on contemporary city streets. Born in Holland in 1951, Charles de Lint grew up in Canada, with a few years off in Turkey, Lebanon, and Switzerland. In addition, de Lint has published several collections of Newford short stories, including Moo
For a sadistic experiment in terror has unleashed a dark avenging angel forged from the agonies of countless dying victims.. In the early 1990s, Charles de Lint wrote and published three dark fantasies under the name "Samuel M. Key." Now, beginning with Angel of Darkness, Orb presents them for the first time under de Lint's own name.When ex-cop Jack Keller finds the mutilated body of a runaway girl in the ashes of a bizarre house fire, he opens the door to a nightmare
