The finale is a surreal horror extravaganza with disturbing and disgusting imagery that will definitely linger in my mind.One of my favorite Powers books, and that's saying something, this ranks up there with THE ANUBIS GATES and LAST CALL in the pantheon of greatness. There are sympathetic and well-drawn (up to a point) characters. Powers blends vampires with succubi, trolls, the Muses, and Frankenstein's monster, and comes up with a unique creature that feeds off men while allowing them almost eternal life and a flair for poetry.

It’s been quite a while since I enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed It’s been quite a while since I enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed I don't recall if I've read anything of Tim Powers's before; I've known the name forever, though. I feel like if I knew the life stories of Byron, Shelley, Polidori and Keats, I’d understand exactly what was going on better. The way in which it interweaves known points in the lives of some of the Romantic poets into its own plot of vampiric possession and uses their own writings to very good effect in the epigraphs to the chapters is all very clever. Michael Crawford a tout pour être heureux : il adore son métier, il aime Julia, sa fiancée.
L'intrigue n'est certes pas menée à un rythme foudroyant, mais elle est habilement tournée et d'une richesse presque excessive – les petits détails et subtilités narratives y sont légion et il est facile de passer à côté de certains d'entre eux.
