Sekenre: The Book of the Sorcerer is a collection of fantasy short stories by American writer Darrell Schweitzer featuring his dark fantasy protagonist, the child sorcerer Sekenre, a sequel to the novel The Mask of the Sorcerer (1995). The book was illustrated by Stephen Fabian. It was first published as a trade paperback by Wildside Press in 2004.[1]

Summary

The collection consists of twelve stories of Sekenre, originally published from 1994 to 2004 in a number of fantasy fiction magazines.

Reception

Don D'Ammassa calls Schweitzer's stories "some of the more interesting sword and sorcery style fantasy fiction being published these past few years," and Sekenre "probably Schweitzer's most interesting character, a combination of a child and a powerful sorcerer who has almost ceased to be a human being." He finds "[t]he quality [of the collection] very consistent so it's hard to single out individual stories, but I'd pick 'On the Last Night of the Festival of the Dead' and 'The Lantern of the Supreme Moment' as the two I enjoyed the most."[2]
