Stephen R. Donaldson's unique talents have placed his work alongside that of J.R.R. Tolkien and established him as a writer with the rare ability to expand readers' imaginations.  Now he presents a magnificent new collection of eight stories and novellas - three of which have never before been printed.

"BEGUILING... INTELLIGENT AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING."  - World-Herald, Omaha

This outstanding volume commences with the fablelike title story, "Reave the Just," which highlights one of Donaldson's favorite themes: the individual's power to overcome adversity.  This collection also introduces the morbid, soul-taking hero of "Penance," the mysterious beggar woman in the dark fairy tale "The Woman Who Loved Pigs," and the pampered antihero forced to make a choice between virtue and vice in "The Djinn Who Watches Over the Accursed."

"'REAVE THE JUST' IS A FIRST COUSIN TO THE CLASSIC PRINCESS BRIDE"  - BookPage

Boasting exotic settings and suspense fueled by sudden plot twists, Reave the Just and Other Tales is a testament to Stephen R. Donaldson's talent to spin unforgettably spellbinding stories, and the astonishing scope of his mastery of magic and myth.
