(And the next thing you know you've got monkey-ponies.)

"What's with all the screaming?"

She Walks in Darkness is not monkey-ponies. I don't know if it's the most amazing novel that could ever have been written with its components, but it's worth picking up and seeing what you think of it. The atmosphere is very good, whatever you think of the archaeology. Its katabasis is controlled and terrifying and it has a haunting sense of deep time and places.
