I think I know by now what evil really is

I am evidently not the target audience for Tim Powers' Hide Me Among the Graves (2012), which [livejournal.com profile] 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 have a copy just waiting to be lent out. Also, I should mention that the book does good ocean, but it does EXCELLENT tidal marsh/estuary. You can hear the mosquitos and smell the black muck at low tide. One more selling point as far as I'm concerned.
