![]() ![]() ![]() I recently managed to track down a copy of A Glow of Candles, and it was well worth the effort.Ī Glow of Candles contains most of his award-winning short fiction, including his two Nebula Award winners, “A Crowd of Shadows” and “A Glow of Candles, a Unicorn’s Eye.” From John Clute’s entry on Grant at the online edition of the Science Fiction Encyclopedia: Sadly, little of his work remains in print, and his collections can be hard to come by. He was honored with two Nebula Awards and three World Fantasy Awards for his writing and editing. Grant received the British Fantasy Society’s Special Award for life achievement in 1987, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers of America in 2000. He produced over a dozen novels, but is remembered today primarily for his powerful short fiction, gathered in three major collections: Tales from the Nightside and A Glow of Candles and Other Stories (both in 1981), and the retrospective Scream Quietly: The Best of Charles L. He edited dozens of horror anthologies, including eleven volumes of the groundbreaking Shadows series from 1978-1991. Grant was a major figure in 20th Century horror, not just as a writer but as a talented editor. A Glow of Candles (Berkley Books, November 1981). ![]()
