Imaginary Worlds: the Art of Fantasy is a study of the modern literary fantasy genre written by Lin Carter.
 It was first published in paperback by Ballantine Books in June, 1973 as the fifty-eighth volume of its "Ballantine Adult Fantasy series"; it was the only nonfiction entry in the series.
 The book was among the earliest full-length critical works devoted to fantasy writers and the history of fantasy.
 It was the third of three such studies by Carter, being preceded by "" (1969) and "" (1972).
 These works, together with his editorial guidance of the "Ballantine Adult Fantasy series", established Carter as an authority on the genre.
John Howard is an English author, born in London in 1961.
 His fiction has appeared in anthologies, magazines, and the collections "The Silver Voices", "Written by Daylight", and "Cities and Thrones and Powers".
 The majority of Howard's stories have central and eastern European settings; many are set in the fictional Romanian town of Steaua de Munte.
 "The Defeat of Grief" is a novella set in Steaua de Munte and the real Black Sea resort of Balcic; the novellas "The Fatal Vision" (in "Cities and Thrones and Powers") and "The Lustre of Time" form part of an ongoing series with Steaua de Munte architect and academic Cristian Luca as protagonist.
 "Numbered as Sand or the Stars" attempts a 'secret history' of Hungary between the World Wars.

Nellie Campobello's Cartucho: Tales of the Struggle in Northern Mexico ("Cartucho: Relatos de la lucha en el Norte de México") is a semi-autobiographical short novel or novella set in the Mexican Revolution and originally published in 1931.
 It consists of a series of vignettes that draw on Campobello's memories of her childhood and adolescence (and the stories her mother told her) in Northern Mexico during the war.
 Though long overlooked, it is now celebrated, among other reasons because it is, as Mexican critic Elena Poniatowska points out, "the only real vision of the Mexican revolution written by a woman."
Malazan Book of the Fallen is an epic fantasy series written by Canadian author Steven Erikson.
 The series, published by Bantam Books in the United Kingdom and Tor Books in the United States, consists of ten volumes beginning with the novel "Gardens of the Moon" published in April 1999, and concluding with the publication of "The Crippled God" in February 2011.
 Erikson's series is extremely complex with a wide scope, and presents the narratives of a large cast of characters spanning thousands of years across multiple continents.
 His plotting presents a complicated series of events in the world upon which the Malazan Empire is located.
 Each of the first five novels is relatively self-contained, in that it resolves its respective primary conflict; but many underlying characters and events are interwoven throughout the works of the series, binding it together.
The Nebula Award for Best Novella is given each year by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) for science fiction or fantasy novellas.
 A work of fiction is defined by the organization as a novella if it is between 17,500 and 40,000 words; awards are also given out for pieces of longer lengths in the novel category, and for shorter lengths in the short story and novelette categories.
 To be eligible for Nebula Award consideration a novella must be published in English in the United States.
 Works published in English elsewhere in the world are also eligible provided they are released on either a website or in an electronic edition.
 The Nebula Award for Best Novella has been awarded annually since 1966.
 Novellas published by themselves are eligible for the novel award instead if the author requests them to be considered as such.
 The award has been described as one of "the most important of the American science fiction awards" and "the science-fiction and fantasy equivalent" of the Emmy Awards.
