Djeli Clark is a pen name for Dexter Gabriel. He was born in New York City in 1971, but spent most of his early years in his parents’ original home of Trinidad and Tobago. At age eight he returned to the United States and lived in Staten Island and Brooklyn before moving to Houston when he was 12 years old. Gabriel went to college at Texas State University, San Marcos, earning a B.A. and an M.A. in history. He then earned a doctorate in history from Stony Brook University. He is currently an assistant professor in the department of history at the University of Connecticut. In 2011 he began publishing short stories variously as P. Djeli Clark, Djeli A. Clark, Phenderson Djeli Clark, and Phenderson Clark. PHenderson was his grandfather’s name, while Clark was his mother’s maiden name. He chose to use pen names in order to separate his academic and literary work. In 2016, Clark sold his first major work, a novelette titled “A Dead Djinn in Cairo.” He has since sold several novellas, short stories, and a novel. Four of his works, “A Dead Djinn in Cairo,” “The Angel of Khan el-Khalili,” “The Haunting of Tram Car 015,” and A MASTER OF DJINN, are set in the same alternate history universe in Egypt. They are collectively titled the “Ministry of Alchemy” series or the “Dead Djinn Universe.” A MASTER OF DJINN is offered here. Some of the awards and award nominations that P.

Djeli Clark has become one of the best, most famous, most important, and most collectible science fiction and fantasy authors in the world. From the dust jacket: “ . . . NEBULA, LOCUS, AND ALEX AWARD WINNER P. DJELI CLARK RETURNS TO HIS POPULAR ALTERNATE CAIRO UNIVERSE IN HIS DEBUT NOVEL . . . CAIRO, 1912: Though Fatma el-Sha’arawi is the youngest woman working for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities, she’s certainly not a rookie, especially after preventing the destruction of the universe last summer . . . So when someone murders the members of a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most famous men in history, al-Jahiz, Agent Fatma is called to the case. Al-Jahiz transformed the world forty years ago, when he opened up the veil between the magical and mundane realms before vanishing into the unknown. This murderer claims to be al-Jahiz, returned to condemn the modern age for its social oppressions. His dangerous magical abilities instigate unrest in the streets of Cairo that threatens to spill onto the global stage . . . Alongside her Ministry colleagues and a familiar face from her past, Agent Fate must unravel the mystery behind this imposter to restore peace to the city — or face the possibility he could be exactly who he seems . . . “ From the rear flap of the dust jacket: “Born in New York and raised mostly in Houston, P. Djeli Clark spent the formative years of his life in Trinidad and Tobago, the homeland of his parents. He is the award-winning and Hugo- and Sturgeon-nominated author of the novellas THE BLACK GOD’S DREAMS and THE HAUNTING OF TRAM CAR 015. His writing has appeared in online venues such Tor.com, Daily Science Fiction, Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, Apex Magazine, Lightspeed, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and print anthologies, including GRIOT, HIDDEN YOUTH, and CLOCKWORK CAIRO. His short story ‘The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington’ (Fireside Fiction) has earned him both a Nebula and a Locus Award. He is also a founding member of FIYAH Magazine of Black Speculative Fiction and an infrequent reviewer at Strange Horizons.” From the rear panel of the dust jacket: PRAISE FOR A MASTER OF DJINN “A delightful whodunnit full of sly commentary and a wonderfully lived-in steampunk Cairo.” — REBECCA ROANHORSE “All the tricky twists I want in a police procedural and all the djinns, magic, and wonder I want from fantasy.” — MARY ROBINETTE KOWAL “A MASTER OF DJINN is everything you might expect from Clark: cinematic action, a radical reimagining of real history, and magic on every page. I loved it.” — ALIX E. HARLOW “Alternate historic Cairo comes to vivid life in Clark’s first novel. His cosmopolitan city includes not only humans from all around the world, but supernatural creatures aplenty. When their interests and agendas collide, the result is the kind of book you don’t want to put down.” — MARIE BRENNAN “I love the intricate alt-history world of A MASTER OF DJINN with its hints at the changed destinies of nations and ordinary people alike after the cataclysmic return of magic to the world — An engaging mystery with a wonderful mix of the fantastic and the mundane, chain-smoking crocodile gods, stuffy Marie librarians, and a brilliant heroine with a dashing bowler.” — DJANGO WEXLER ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I grade books and dust jackets: fine, near fine, very good, good, fair, and poor. I describe all faults. If you sell books on EBAY (or anywhere else), it is de rigueur not to list 1st printings of book club books as 1st editions (unless they ARE the 1st edition, which occurs only occasionally); also, a 1st edition, 7th printing, is not a 1st edition. Ex-library books must be noted as such since generally they are of little value to the collector of 1st editions. Condition is also very important to those collectors. Books and dust jackets must be described in detail. In other words, it is incumbent upon the SELLER to know what is and is not a 1st edition. Mistakes can be made (and corrected), of course, but if you DON'T KNOW, don't try to sell a book as a 1st edition. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONDITION: A FINE book in a FINE dust jacket. The book is in a brown boards-binding with silver lettering on the spine of the book. The book has the correct blue endpapers There is no writing in the book; no bookplates; no remainder marks (important in that this book shows up with a remainder mark at times). The dust jacket is not price-clipped and shows the correct publisher's price of $27.99. The dust jacket has no chips, no tears, and no wrinkles. This may be an unread copy of this book. It is in superb condition. A MASTER OF DJINN was a Nebula Award winner, a Hugo Award nominee, a Locus Award winner, and a World Fantasy Award nominee, among other awards. A MUST FOR THE COLLECTOR OF IMPORTANT, MODERN FANTASY FICTION 1st EDITIONS AND/OR THE COLLECTOR OF AWARD-WINNING 1st EDITIONS AND/OR THE COLLECTOR OF P. DJELI CLARK 1st EDITIONS! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional photos are available upon request. I am continuing to list some of my best books (especially science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions) on EBAY not so much as auctions (due to the fact that EBAY charges quite a bit to list items for reserve auctions), but more along the lines of listing my “catalogue” of books that I have for sale. I'm not going to “give” these books away, but my opening bids and Buy-It-Now prices are usually a fair amount below market value. Furthermore, however, for certain scarce books in great condition, I do expect to get close to what they’re worth. Stay with me; I always have a number of important, collectible, cornerstone science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions listed. Many thanks! All items are being offered for sale elsewhere; I reserve the right to end this listing early if this item sells elsewhere. __________________________________________________________________________________ Note: I own the following two books: Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY JUSTICE. Subterranean Press, 2014. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY MERCY. Subterranean Press, 2016. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). I am looking for: Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY SWORD. Subterranean Press, 2015. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). I would like to round out this set by acquiring the #2/500 copy of ANCILLARY SWORD. If anyone has this copy and is willing to sell it on EBAY, I would be highly interested in obtaining it so that all my copies would have matching numbers. Many thanks. __________________________________________________________________________________ Contact me if you’re looking for a particular title or titles.
