	Widdershins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Charles de Lint, Widdershins
		Widdershins seems to have tied all the strands of de Lint's writing together into a seamless whole, with that mythic quality he creates right at the core, although in retrospect it should have irritated me more than it did.
		In earlier works such as Moonheart and Greenmantle (which I consider one of his finest, and most disturbing), the otherworlds exist but there is a separation, a more-or-less sharply defined boundary between them and the mundane world.
		Widdershins does a lot to erase that boundary, with characters moving back and forth fluidly and easily, with fairies and cousins inhabiting the mundane world as a matter of course, and with cell phones operating across the boundaries.

		I know that the word "widdershins" means anti-clockwise, and I've usually seen it associated with the practice of witchcraft or the occult.

		In 'Widdershins', (Tor Books / Tom Doherty Associates ; May 2006 ; $27.95) Charles de Lint is finally going to deliver on a romance that he's written around the edges for what seems like forever.

		It has much of the appeal of what in the 1980's was called horror fiction, but the primary purpose here is not to frighten and there no real gore.
