Dust jacket by MaryAnn Harris.

Quicksilver & Shadow is the second volume (of a projected three) of Charles de Lint's Collected Early Stories. At nearly 150,000 words it's even larger than volume one, A Handful of Coppers, and includes the very obscure 20,000 word novella, “Berlin,” and its over 30,000 word counterpart “Death Leaves an Echo.”
