Charles de Lint is a prolific author whose style is always good and characterisation excellent. I find some of his more popular characters irritating, and his view of the world a bit cloying sometimes, but he is a good reliable read, sometimes excellent.
Mulengro is one of his earlier books and edges close to horror - the body count is pretty high! I enjoyed the depiction of the modern Romany (gypsy) world view, and I admired de Lint's ability to sympathetically portray characters with very different world views and attitudes. Even when the characters were interacting you could still see and understand both points of view.
Mulengro first published 1985
