Darrell Schweitzer has been three-times nominated for the World
Fantasy Award, twice for Best Collection, and once for the novella
"To Become a Sorcerer," which forms the first four chapters of this
book. He is also the author of _The White Isle, The Shattered
Goddess, _ and nearly 300 short stories, many of which are
collected in such volumes as _Tom O'Bedlam's Night Out, Transients,
Refugees from an Imaginary Country, Nightscapes, _ and _The Great
World and the Small._ An expert on fantastic fiction, who has
written books about Lord Dunsany and H.P. Lovecraft, he is also
co-editor of the legendary _Weird Tales_ magazine.
_The Mask of the Sorcerer_ is one of the ten best fantasy
novels of the past generation. The plot is compelling and moves at
breathtaking pace. The characters are intriguing,
multi-dimensional, lovingly drawn. The fear is chilling, the
excitement intense. But mostly _The Mask of the Sorcerer_ is about
magic. True magic. Magic that rings in the bones and the soul,
magic that very few contemporary writers can understand or create.
Darrell Schweitzer _is_ a sorcerer, and his knowledge of magic is
awesome. _The Mask of the Sorcerer_ is authentic, a beacon shining
above a sea of imitations. Unique as all great creations are
unique, it stands alone." -- Morgan Llywelyn
