Companions to the Moon

Companions to the Moon (2007) Charles de Lint

This is a short story that’s not connected to Newford–just the story of a woman who thinks her boyfriend is cheating on her, and what she discovers.

Of course, this is Charles de Lint, so you never expect what she discovers.

Charles de Lint never fails to amaze me.

He can take 24 pages in that short span create characters and a world, and tell a story that draws you in.

When I read short stories by other authors, I can’t help but compare them to Charles de Lint, and I am often disappointed when they fall short.

On the other hand, when I find an author who can replicate this ability, I immediately fall in love.
Rating: 9/10
