Anyone who knows her wouldn't be surprised to learn that Jilly sees the world through a prism of faerie tales. It was years before I came to understand that she wasn't just being whimsical when she talked so easily about hobs and brownies and various kinds of faerie creatures.
They were real. Faerieland, otherworlds, and all the denizens and creatures you might imagine to live there.
It was all real. And so were ghosts. I remember when I first realized this. I felt like my head was going to explode
Juniper left her life as a Hollywood actor to live quietly back home in Newford. The last thing she wants is to be involved in the media circus that is the Newford ComicFest. But when Galfreya, the seer of the local Faerie Court, comes to her with a prediction ("If you go, there will be trouble. If you don't go, the result will be catastrophic.") she feels she doesn't have much of a choice.
Turns out the distance between trouble and catastrophe isn't as wide as Juniper and her friends hoped. Sometimes you just can't win.
"Charles de Lint is the modern master of urban fantasy. Folktale, myth, fairy tale, dreams, urban legend—all of it adds up to pure magic in de Lint's vivid, original world. No one does it better."—Alice Hoffman
