I read Dance of the Dwarfs: very fine writing, detail, setting, atmosphere, very convincing sense of place, intriguing - until 2/3 in, when the 'dwarfs' are revealed, with a crushing disappointment, to have been just some dumb animals: after that, it was all downhill. pity for wasting such a wonderful setting for THIS tale. the title and advertising are misleading: I don't. even see this as a horror novel, though that is not my major complaint. after the revelation, it is just ridiculous, uninteresting and unintentionally funny (though not in a fun way)
