Synopsis The Tulpa by : Ardath Mayhar
Araminta Palomer, the oversheltered child of a wealthy family, enlivens her life by imagining a near-invisible animal playmate-Willbe. But "Minta" possesses an unsuspected psychic talent, and so she unwittingly creates a tulpa, an envisioned being that gradually becomes tangible, first to herself and then to others. Willbe seems a loving companion at first, but as Minta matures, he changes into an increasingly perilous and unreliable friend. Learning to un-create Willbe becomes Araminta's lifelong ambition, as he threatens her governess, her family -- and even herself! "Mayhar is a master at creating fantastical situations and strange creatures embedded within the everyday lives of attractive, recognizable characters. Her fans will love this new fantasy!" --Robert Reginald. First Publication in Book Form!
