![]() "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. 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! There’s the Flat, which looks like a rug until it wraps around you. 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. In Manly Wade Wellman’s wonderful ‘Silver John’ stories (collected as WHO FEARS THE DEVIL), he features an intriguing assortment of critters as his hero wanders the North Carolina mountains. Manly Wade Wellman's Silver John is one of the most beloved figures in fantasy, a true American folk hero of the literary age. 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. ![]() There's a traveling man the Carolina mountain folk call Silver John for the silver strings strung on his guitar. ![]()
