Praise for he Uncertain Places
“he Uncertain Places continued to surprise me on almost every page—and,
as a writer, illed me with raw, disgraceful envy: Boy, I wish I’d thought of
that one...”
—Peter S. Beagle
“Has it really been nine years since he Alchemist’s Door , Lisa Goldstein’s last
book under her own byline? It’s been a long wait, but he Uncertain Places
is one of those delightful books that are worth the wait. It combines all the
things that I like best about Goldstein’s work: great, believable characters;
a well-deined setting (this time it’s 1970s Berkeley); and subtle magic that
plays by the rules.”
—Charles de Lint, Fantasy & Science Fiction
“Goldstein’s complex and ingenious plot transplants the forest realm of
European folktale, where witches grant wishes with strings attached and
you’d better be careful which frog you kiss, into the sun-drenched hills of
Northern California in the 1970s—and beyond.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin
“his entrancing book perfectly captures the subconscious logic of fairy
tales—you’ll ind yourself believing it all, and wishing you could go to these
places yourself, with all their wonders and perils.”
—Tim Powers
“It’s itting that a spider is the symbol of the elf-struck family in this book,
because Lisa Goldstein’s prose is more than a little like a spider’s web: so
deceptively simple that you could take it for granted until the angle of light
changes and its full beauty is suddenly revealed...a tale as tangling, tricksy,
and enchanted as the Fair Folk themselves.”
—Tad Williams
“From Lisa Goldstein, one of our most subtle and enduring writers, comes
this exquisite interweaving of fairy tale and modern life. he Uncertain
Places demonstrates that love and the stuf of legends are sometimes
indistinguishable and share the same dark bed.”
—Lucius Shepard

“A gripping story that twists with compelling dream-logic; Goldstein’s fairy
tale family radiate believable unreality, and the faerie realm contained herein
evinces the perfect mix of terror and attraction. Start reading this at your
peril; once I did, I couldn’t stop until I was done.”
—Cory Doctorow
“It’s an engaging look at Northern California in the ’70s by way of the
Brothers Grimm...a shrewd and satisfying venture down the crooked paths
and unpredictable byways of the Otherworld.”
—Patricia A. McKillip
“It’s all about family values: ancient legacies, young love, dumb luck, and
home cooking. And no one understands better than Lisa Goldstein that
terror is a dish best served cold.”
—Terry Bisson
Praise for Lisa Goldstein
“She has given us the kind of magic and adventure that once upon a time
made us look for secret panels in the halls of wardrobes, or brush our teeth
with a book held in front of our eyes, because we couldn’t bear to put it
down.”
— he New Yorker
“Lisa Goldstein is the perfect, born storyteller. Her story pulls you in and
wraps you round and it is hard to think of anything else until it is over.”
—Diana Wynne Jones
“Lisa Goldstein’s work deserves to be celebrated along with that of Alice
Walker and Shirley Jackson.”
—Lucius Shepard
“[Lisa Goldstein] never writes the same type of story twice, and she never
disappoints.”
—Mark Graham, Denver Rocky Mountain News
