I'm glad I read them out of order, or I would never have picked this one up. This is much more interesting than the Somnambulist and the groundwork laid in the first book is pointless. I personally wouldn't waste my time with either of them if I had the choice again. Anyhoo, entertaining enough and I'll be picking up the Somnambulist soon. The title characters, or "Prefects," felt like weak sauce versions of Gaiman's Mr. Croup and Vandemar from the book Neverwhere. Supposed to be creepy, but were just a little too silly. I wanted more sinister elements, I guess, if we're talking about the end of the world as we know it. Changed this now that I read the Somnambulist.

I wanted more sinister elements, I guess, if we're talking about the end of the world as we know it. A worthy follow-up to Barnes' The Somnambulist by my estimation. If you liked the crazed victoriana of the earlier book, you should like this stand alone story set in the same world, but in modern day this time. The same major ingredients apply here: a cup of Terry Pratchett/Douglas Adams style fantastical humor, a couple tablespoons of Tim Burton/Terry Gilliam imagery, a chunk Alan Moore's subversive comic book adventure, and of course a sprinkling of H.P. Lovecraft to make it just right. Maybe he added a dash of James Bond this time around? Smart, witty, fast paced fun for fans of the dark and creepy. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In an earlier century, Queen Victoria made a Faustian bargain, signing London and all its souls away to a nefarious, inhuman entity. Now, generations later, the bill has finally come due. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
