Wolf Moon is an old favorite of mine. I remember at the time I started to work on it that I wanted to write a small story in a high fantasy setting. Worlds didn't need to be saved. The characters weren't required to go on arduous quests. But the events of the story would still have great import upon the characters because that's the way of the world. The large events that move and shake nations certainly interest us and impact upon our lives, but for most of us, the bigger stories revolve around ourselves and our circle of friends and family. I didn't see why it should be any different for the characters in a high fantasy secondary world.
The sad thing is that the book got next to no distribution and disappeared almost as soon as it was published. So I'm happy to see it coming back into print in this handsome hardcover edition, and I'm especially delighted to have MaryAnn's art on the cover of the Subterranean Press edition.
Here's what the Subterranean Press release sheet has to say about it:
Wolf Moon is one of the rarest of Charles de Lint's novels, first published over a decade ago as a paperback, and out of print since. We're proud to be publishing the first hardcover edition of this rare fantasy, bound in full-cloth, with a full-color wraparound dustjacket.
