About this product
Product Information
For the past two decades, John Crowley has created some of the most beautiful and evocative fiction written anywhere. A recipient of the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters Award for Literature, he has written yet another masterpiece that brings together his distinctive blend of magic, mystery, adventure, and wonder. When the world ends, it ends somewhat differently for each soul then alive to see it; the end doesn't come all at once but passes and repasses over the world like the shivers that pass over a horse's skin. For the people in this novel, the concerns of everyday life -- children and love affairs, work and friendship -- are beginning to transmute into the extraordinary and to reveal the forces, dark and light, that truly govern their lives. So it is for Pierce Moffett, would-be historian and author, who has moved from New York to the Faraway Hills, where he seems to discover -- or rediscover -- a path into magic, past and present. And so it is for Rosie Rasmussen, a single mother grappling with her mysterious uncle's legacy and her young daughter Samantha's inexplicable seizures. For Pierce's lover Rose Ryder, whose life is lived half in dream, another path unfolds: she's drawn into a cult that promises to exorcise her demons. A great cycle of time is ending, as it did once before, in the bygone days of witchcraft and wars of religion. The lives of Renaissance wizard John Dee and rogue philosopher Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake, haunt the present: their stories, true and false, are being reenacted in the peaceful Faraway Hills and may hold the key to the future. It is the dark of the year, between Halloween and the winter solstice, and the gateway is open between the worlds of the living and the dead. Pierce and Rosie, Samantha and Rose Ryder, and their enemies and allies -- who have powers hidden until now--must take sides in an age-old war that is approaching the final battle. Or is it? In a John Crowley novel, nothing is as it seems. Crowley draws us into a cosmic tug-of-war between familiarity and strangeness, couples us with characters much like ourselves, and then works his own potent magic on the proceedings.Daemonomaniais a journey into the very mystery of existence: what is, what went before, and what could break through at any moment in our lives.

Reviews
"A masterpiece of spiritual insight and of superb style and characterization." -- Harold Bloom Praise for John Crowley: "Crowley writes with style and wit, creates characters that live and breathe." --Newsday "Crowley is generous, obsessed, fascinating, gripping. Really, I think Crowley is so good that he has left everybody else in the dust." -- Peter Straub "An original moralist of the same giddy heights occupied by the likes of Thomas Mann and Robertson Davies." --San Francisco Chronicle "John Crowley, I predict, will emerge as American Lit's next Cormac McCarthy -- so catch him now and beat the crowds." --Spin "John Crowley is an abundantly gifted writer, a scholar whose passion for history is matched by his ability to write a graceful sentence." --The New York Times Book Review "Crowley is one of those necessary writers for whom one has been waiting without knowing it." -- Russell Hoban, "A masterpiece of spiritual insight and of superb style and characterization." -- Harold Bloom Praise for John Crowley: "Crowley writes with style and wit, creates characters that live and breathe." -- Newsday "Crowley is generous, obsessed, fascinating, gripping.
