In 1977 Stephen Donaldson changed the face of epic fantasy. With the publication of THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT THE UNBELIEVER Donaldson took the world of fantasy publishing by storm and created a true phenomenon: an epic fantasy instant bestseller that has gone on to sell millions. The ‘hero’ Thomas Covenant is mysteriously struck down with a disease believed eradicated; he is abandoned by his wife and young son and becomes a pariah. Alone and despairing Covenant falls – and is drawn into a mysterious new world where gentle people work magic and the earth itself brings healing. He is welcomed as the reincarnation of a legendary saviour but Covenant refuses to believe; he’s convinced he’s having delusions. At the end of the sixth book as Covenant battles to save the world he is killed – in both worlds – as Dr Linden Avery his horrified companion looks on. Now comes the book every fantasy reader has been waiting for. It’s ten years later and Linden Avery thought she would never see the Land or Covenant her beloved again. But Lord Foul has stolen her adopted son and is unmaking the very laws of nature.And though she believes Covenant dead he keeps sending Linden messages: ‘Find me’ and ‘Don’t trust me’. The Land is in turmoil and Lord Foul has plans for them all …

Amazon.co.uk Review
Pandora couldn’t resist opening the forbidden box containing all the delusions of mankind, and let’s just say in Mulholland Drive David Lynch indulges a similar impulse. Employing a familiar film noir atmosphere to unravel, as he coyly puts it, “a love story in the city of dreams”, Lynch establishes a foreboding but playful narrative in the film’s first half before subsuming all of Los Angeles and its corrupt ambitions into his voyeuristic universe of desire. Identities exchange, amnesia proliferates and nightmare visions are induced, but not before we’ve become enthralled by the film’s two main characters: the dazed and sullen femme fatale, Rita (Laura Elena Harring), and the pert blonde just-arrived from Ontario (played exquisitely by Naomi Watts) who decides to help Rita regain her memory. Triggered by a rapturous Spanish-language version of Roy Orbison’s “Crying”, Lynch’s best film since Blue Velvet splits glowingly into two equally compelling parts. –Fionn Meade
