My Brother's Keeper

Combines the Brontës, a mysterious cult and werewolves... run, don't walk, to your bookstore for this decadent Gothic bonbon. -- Silvia Moreno-Garcia A joltingly good read...Powers brilliantly weaves through the hallowed family history a tale of ancient Irish curses, consumptive ghosts, fairylands and a werewolf cult that is blighting the North Country...gruesome, gripping stuff * Daily Mail * A masterly, compelling, and moving tale that places Tim Powers among the greatest fantasy writers of his or any generation. Countless novels have involved the Brontë family, but none would so surely please and enchant them as this one. My Brother's Keeper is a pure delight. -- Dean Koontz My Brother’s Keeper is an eerie period piece perfectly well-suited to darkening October nights. * Wall Street Journal * The Brontës – especially Emily and her dissolute brother Branwell – come to life on the page, historical details effectively turned to the service of fantasy, making for an exciting and highly entertaining tale * The Guardian * The world of the Brontes and the supernatural feel like natural bedfellows the way that Powers writes them… has the feel of a good Sherlock Holmes tale * SF Book Review * Powers has form for this sort of historical revisionism… It’s clever, as is Powers’ original pagan twin-god lore, and the ghostly imagery he superimposes over the Yorkshire moors is properly shiver-inducing * SFX * A tense novel that delivers all of the things you’d expect from a gothic horror... an excellent modern take on a centuries-old genre * GeekDad * Has all the gonzo action and excitement as well as the keen eye to historical detail that we've come to expect from Powers at his best, and is a smart and engaging love letter to these pioneers of the gothic form * The Fantasy Hive *
