I am evidently not the target audience for Tim Powers' Hide Me Among the Graves (2012), which rushthatspeaks has been reading and describing to me; I think that if one of your central characters is vampire John Polidori, people should always be asking him if he got it from Lord Byron and he should be so tired of having to tell them ("Byron wasn't even a vampire, damn it!") no.

I read The Anubis Gates long ago and was meh; I read On Stranger Tides in 2009 and found it loathsome. Not only did it elevate his typical sexism to a full-on Madonna/whore complex, it also added a healthy does of fatphobia to his usual mix of neologisms and bad research.
