Product Description

London, 1832. Mr Carlyle knows a great deal about the matter of the dead. After he meets a young engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, at a seance, his investigations into strange events associated with the stalled Thames Tunnel project pit him against a wily necromancer, Dr Pretorius, and a curse as old as the city itself.

A steampunk novelette by the award-winning author of Pasquale's Angel and Fairyland, with a bonus short story describing one of Mr Carlyle's contemporary cases.

5.0 out of 5 stars In the spirit of Tim Powers 3 Oct 2012

By Charles Kress - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase

At only 70 pages this is not as ambitious as many of Tim Powers' works. Still Paul McAuley has written a work well worth reading by those interested in occult fantasy. I hope McAuley will write more along these lines, as this story shows great promise. I should note that I also found McAuley's Scifi books "The Quiet War" and especially "Gardens of the Sun" to be quite well written and enjoyed reading them as well.
