Description:
Quote:From Last Call to On Stranger Tides to Declare to Three Days to Never, any book by the inimitable Tim Powers is a wonder. With Hide Me Among the Graves, it's possible that the uniquely ingenious Powers has surpassed even himself. A breathtaking historical thriller in which art and the supernatural collide, Hide Me Among the Graves transports readers back to mid-19th century London and features a reformed ex-prostitute, a veterinarian, and the vampire ghost of Lord Byron's onetime physician, uncle to poet Christina Rossetti and her brother, the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. A novel that, like all his others, is virtually impossible to pidgeonhole-or to resist-Hide Me Among the Graves is the taut, gripping, and utterly remarkable literary thrill ride that Tim Powers fans have been eagerly waiting for.Category:Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Mystery & Thrillers, Awards, Fiction Subjects, Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction, Fantasy Fiction, Historical Fiction, Thrillers, Fiction - Other, Gaslamp Fantasy, Historical Thrillers, Vampire Thrillers, Washington Post Notable Fiction of 2012
