There's No Shame In Fear.

Many Fantasy Novels - 'lord Of The Rings', For Instance, Or 'lavondyss' By Robert Holdstock - Are Beautifully Written. Geoff Ryman's 'the Child Garden' Is Exquisite And Utterly Beguiling. Mervyn Peake's 'gormenghast' Trilogy Is An Astonishing Piece Of Multi-faceted Storytelling. So Quality Of Writing Does Not Condemn The Genre.

This Is The Real Magic Of Fantasy Fiction: It Can Feed Souls And Change Lives.

All Things Are Possible, ... Except The Passing Of Regret.
