The Gypsy is a 1992 urban fantasy novel written by Megan Lindholm and Steven Brust. It blends elements of Hungarian folk tales with a modern day detective story. The book contains many lyrics to songs that were later recorded to an album called Songs from the Gypsy by Boiled in Lead.

[edit] Editions and translations

The first edition was a hardcover issued by Tor Books in July 1992. At least two softcover editions have been issued since: a mass market paperback by Tor Books in July 1993 and a trade paperback edition by Orb Books in April 2005. A French translation La nuit du prédateur was published by Mnémos in April 2006.

[edit] Songs from the Gypsy

Songs from the Gypsy is an album by Boiled in Lead. The songs were later incorporated into the novel The Gypsy, despite the date of the recording. The album was originally released 21st of June 1995 in a special CD format that included the whole text of the book and some "extras" like sound clips. Apparently the special content does not work on operating systems newer than Windows95 or Mac OS9. The songs are still available in online music stores.
