This title comes with an introduction by John Mullen. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in particular. From the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates. "e;Quite simply, a marvel"e;.

桂林城里，六根是吃书法饭的，一支毛笔打天下。那支毛笔是托人从湖州特制的，笔杆选用斑竹，紫褐色的竹皮上撒着点点斑痕，称之美人泪。牛角收口，管顶嵌一段翠玉，绿莹莹放着温润的光。笔毛是加鼬鼠须做的，细软柔韧。六根得此笔欢喜异常，悬挂书案的笔架上，望之，美若妇人，相看两不厌。掬而嗅之，隐隐含香，遂在笔杆上方刻了篆体“妙香”二字。每逢有人索字，六根便用笔袋装了揣在怀里，贴着肌肤元阳津养，暖暖焉如近美人。日久天长沁了人的精气，笔生灵魅，助六根挥毫，处处皆妙笔生花。六根用这支生香妙笔写的墨宝也有挂在桂林城大街小巷茶肆酒楼的，多半不收钱，只是送朋友。六根也习惯，不喜润笔费，只好酒。
