"Peter Beagle deserves a seat at the table with the great masters of fantasy. If you had any doubts,The Overneath will dispel them." âe*Christopher Moore, author ofLamb

An odd couple patrols a county full of mythological beasts and ornery locals. A familiar youngster from the world ofThe 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.
