THE FAERY OF DARK DESPAIR

She throws her spell of introspective darkness, and you sink deeper into the shadows of despondency.  Her enchantment may last for just a few hours...or for many years.  Yet the hue of her wings reminds us that there is always hope in the midst of hopelessness.


---Excerpt from GOOD FAERIES/BAD FAERIES

THE GLANCONER

In Ireland, he is known as the Glanconer, or Love Talker.  His amorous cousins around the world include England's deadly Reynardine, the fox daemons of China and Japan, the lusty elfin knight of Scottish balladry.

The Glanconer's eyes are black as sloes and his words are sweeter than honey.  He walks the woods by twilight, prowling for women to charm and kiss.  Beware.  Dealing with the Love Talker involves a risk-- an elemental risk.  It might be an exhilarating experience treasured for the rest of your life--or you might pine away when the faery's gone and no other man's touch can equal his.  The Glanconer, like sweet-talking human lover boys, takes you for a walk on the wild side of Faery.  It could be the making of you...or lead to pain and depair.
