3.5 stars.While certainly not nearly as good as the classic "The Anubis Gate", this was a decent read: it held ny interest throughout, and Tin Powers can definitely tell a story.But at the same time it was also a somewhat -uncomfortable- read, as the book (IMO) gave off mixed messages in it's depiction of women overall, even though I'm not sure that's the intent.I think this book WANTS to be just a straightforeward alt-history/fantasy romp, but given the premise, it seems to have turned into a

This is a rage review. I'm at 27% on this book. The premise is that lots of men are victims of lamia, which are sexy female vampires who forcibly "marry" them (or claim them as part of a birth process), and go on to bleed them dry and ruin their lives. But they are so sexy the men just can't help themselves, they just *have* to have sex with them and then they get bled dry as a result. COULD IT BE A METAPHOR IDK WHAT DOES IT MEAN.So far the only woman with a speaking part who isn't a sexy

A secret history involving the romantic poets, children of Lillith(Lillim or Nephelhim), the Hapsburgs, and vampire legends. The way the story is interwoven with the literature of the poets (Keats, Byron, and Shelley) and their hangers on and relatives (especially Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, and Polidoris Vampyr) and with their history(and the political strife in Europe) is terrific. Great atmosphere and an air of creepiness and dread through out and the attitude towards the poets by the

During the first several chapters I was afraid I wasnt going to like this. Its quite well written, but its weird and macabre, with more self-mutilation and blood consumption than I generally care to read about. The story grew on me, though, and I really enjoyed the last half of the book, and particularly the final scenes with Lord Byron battling monsters, by proxy, in Venice.I know little about the Romantic poets, and I found myself hitting Wikipedia to reconcile this fictional version of Byron,

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. Again, it's a simple enough idea -- what if the muses of the great Romantic poets were actual supernatural beings, a kind of psychic vampire? From that Powers imagination takes flight and we get Nephilim, Byron, Shelley, Keats and all manner of innocent bystanders pulled under the influence of ancient creatures, Lamia, trying to find a foothold again

I don't recall if I've read anything of Tim Powers's before; I've known the name forever, though. And Simon Vance narrated, so with the description listed for The Stress of Her Regard seemed like a solid lock. But it was so very much not. Vampires, succubi, fairy godmothers, muses oh, and the Sphinx all have the same origin and explanation: lamia. Done right, this could be fascinating. Done not-quite-right, and I wanted to hurt every major character in the book, and some of the minor ones. And

Of lamias and muses, gorgons and graeae, vampires and leanhaun side, Romantics and religion. Rich. Satisfying. Exquisite. And now, over 20 years later, he has published a sequel!
