ABSTRACT
Over the past 16 years, Garth Nix has established himself as a leading Australian writer of Gothic fantasy for children and adults. Nix’s fantasy quest novels mingle elements from sword and sorcery and Gothic horror, with the horror element at its most potent in Sabriel and its sequels. He has been a prolific author, at his best when working on the larger scale of trilogies and series novels; it is in these longer books that his talents as an accomplished storyteller and builder of richly varied imaginary worlds are best demonstrated.
