Sasha's Recommends

Tim Powers delivers again!  This inimitable mash-up features Victorian poets, the world below the streets of London, ghosts in bottles, and refreshingly evil vampires, and, as always, it's a wild and unpredictable ride!  The story seamlessly melds real-life historical people and occurrences with the magical, the paranormal, and the just plain bizarre.  When you read a book by Powers, you never know exactly what to expect, but you know it's going to be great!

I love this author! Just like her first book, The Vanishing of Katharina Linden, the Glass Demon is the perfect suspense novel -- creepy, smart and utterly gripping.  Grant creates a delicious sense of impending doom, drawing on German folklore for her tone (though not her story).  And her writing is riveting!  I dare you to put this one down once you've started reading it!
