The Quest For The White Duck is another example of Charles L. Grant’s comedic writing, a three-book fantasy series that takes the conventions of quest fiction and turns them sideways. The titles — Blood River Down, Web of Defeat, Agnes Day — hint at the irreverent tone.
Published in 1986 and 1987, the trilogy proves Grant could write humor as effectively as horror. The books have a cult following among readers who appreciate fantasy that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
