The Nethergrimhas returned
Matthew Jobin spent 25 years developing the Nethergrim's world--its story, present and past; its landscapes; its language. He was originally inspired as a boy exploring the forest surrounding his home in Canada, and has been intent on telling the tale ever since.
Matthew, who holds a Ph. D. in anthropology from Stanford University, now lectures at Santa Clara University and lives with his wife in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"[An] entertaining coming-of-age fantasy . . .this is a solid debut
for anthropologist Jobin, who steers clear of genre clichés while
offering up a refreshingly metaphysical take on magic, a believably
dark setting filled with unusual threats, and a seductive and
manipulative villain."--Publishers Weekly "Jobin combines elements
of suspense and mystery with a pervasive sense of impending doom in
this opening volume of this trilogy."--SLJ "The Nethergrim itself
is indeed the stuff of nightmares, and Jobin judiciously doles out
details about it, heightening suspense further . . . Fantasy fans
will find much to enjoy in this elegant gem of a novel"--BCCB
