- There’s a traveling man the Carolina mountain folk call Silver John
for the silver strings strung on his guitar. In his wanderings John encounters a
parade of benighted forest creatures, mountain spirits, and shapeless horrors
from the void of history with only his enduring spirit, playful wit, and the
magic of his guitar to preserve him.- Manly Wade Wellman’s Silver John is one of the most beloved
figures in fantasy, a true American folk hero of the literary age. For the first
time the Planet Stories edition of Who Fears the Devil? collects all of
John’s adventures published throughout Wellman’s life, including two
stories about John before he got his silver-stringed guitar that have never
previously appeared in a Silver John collection. Lost, out of print, or
buried in expensive hardcover editions, the seminal, unforgettable tales of
Who Fears the Devil? stand ready for a new generation ready to continue
the folk tradition of Silver John!
