Charles de Lint has an amazing way of writing; I can only compare his style to Guy Gavriel Key, which makes me think that there is something truly magical in the waters up in Canada. When de Lint writes, you feel a strong tug at your deepest core; you know he is writing about a truth, even if you have yourself never seen balloon people -- they are true on a level beyond something seen on the news.

I was glad to find a third collection of Newford tales, but still a bit dissapointed. The stories hit some deep emotional tones, and I even found tears streaming down my face at more than one part of this book.

_Moonlight and Vines_ is a well-written collection of stories, set in a modern city, intended to give the reader a sense of wonder, and make us believe that there is magic afoot, even in our most run-down urban slums. Charles de Lint is wonderful at treading that line between fantasy and realism, where we wonder right along with the characters, "what is real?
