A city of over three million souls, of stinking fog and dark, winding streets. Through these streets walks the poet Christina Rossetti, haunted and tormented by the ghost of her uncle, John Polidori. Without him, she cannot write, but her relationship with him threatens to shake London itself to the ground. This fascinating, clever novel vividly recreates the stews and slums of Victorian London - a city of dreadful delight. But it is the history of a hidden city, where nursery rhymes lead the adventurer through haunted tunnels and inverted spires. And where the price of poetic inspiration is blood.Praise for Tim Powers 'The winner of a clutch of World Fantasy, Locus and Philip K. Dick awards and acclaimed as a founder of steampunk, Powers is undeniably one of fantasy's grand masters' - Guardian'One of the most original and innovative writers...His writing defies characterization and he never repeats himself' - Washington Post'Powers orchestrates reality and fantasy so artfully that the reader is not allowed a moment's doubt' - The New Yorker'One of the field's truly distinct voices' - Locus
