Giant Thief (Tales of Easie Damasco)

Breathless pace Damasco resembles a landlocked version of Jack Sparrow. The atypical backdrop,self-aware style and downplaying of magics bring to mind the contemporary fantasies of Scott Lynch and Joe Abercrombie. --SFX Magazine

A fast-paced, witty and original fantasy, reminiscent of Scott Lynch and Fritz Leiber --Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of the Shadows of the Apt series

David Tallerman was born and raised in the northeast of England. A long and confused period of education ended with an MA dissertation on the literary history of seventeenth century witchcraft that somehow incorporated references to both Kate Bush and H P Lovecraft. David currently roams the UK as an itinerant IT Technician-for-hire, applying theories of animism and sympathetic magic to computer repair and taking devoted care of his bonsai tree familiar. Over the last few years, David has been steadily building a reputation for his genre short fiction and increasingly his writing has tended to push and merge genres, and to incorporate influences from his other great loves, comic books and cinema.
