Title: The Overneath
Description: **"A masterful collection from a short story master--a must-read for Beagle fans."
--*Kirkus*, starred review**

An odd couple patrons a county full of mythological beasts and ornery locals. A familiar youngster from the world of *The Last Unicorn* is gifted in magic but terrible at spell-casting. A seemingly incorruptible judge meets his match in a mysterious thief who steals his heart. Two old friends discover that the Overneath goes anywhere, including locations better left unvisited.

Lyrical, witty, and insightful, *The Overneath* is Peter S. Beagle's much-anticipated return to the short form. In these uniquely beautiful and wholly original tales, with new and uncollected work, Beagle once again proves himself a master of the imagination.

**"Peter Beagle deserves a seat at the table with the great masters of fantasy. If you had any doubts, *The Overneath* will dispel them."
--Christopher Moore, bestselling author of *Lamb* and *The Serpent of Venice***
