About this product
Product Information
In an earlier century, Queen Victoria made a Faustian bargain, signing London and all its souls away to a nefarious, inhuman entity. Now, generations later, the bill has finally come due. . . . An amiable, unambitious London file clerk, Henry Lamb leads an unremarkable life--until the day he learns he's expected to assume the covert responsibilities of his universally despised, now comatose grandfather. London is at war, and a shadowy organization known (to a very few) as the Directorate wishes to recruit Henry to the cause. All he has to do is find "the girl," save the world from the monster Leviathan, and defeat the unspeakable evil lurking in the cellar of 10 Downing Street: the serial-slaying schoolboy twins known as the Domino Men.

Barnes's second novel, a compelling supernatural thriller, shows that his impressive debut, The Somnambulist , was no fluke. …Thanks to Barnes's evocative prose, readers will easily suspend disbelief. Those who enjoy the grafting of fantasy elements onto contemporary urban landscapes will be more than satisfied., If you only read one black comedy with the brains and labyrinthine twists of Vedantic hair-splitting, make it this one....a gripping yarn., Another remarkable outing, an infectious blend of wit, wonder, and the bizarre presented with remarkable style. This is literary fiction for the genre fiction set, or possibly the other way around...genuinely shocking and inventive., Macabre wit and stylistic panache. Parliament should immediately pass a law requiring Barnes to write a sequel., Strange, outrageous, and wonderful ... There is much that is strange, magical, and darkly hilarious about this book ...

Books we ordered were in like new condition. Seller quickly answered our request to verify that the books had no writing inside. Price was reasonable for what we purchased. Only problem was the packaging, which was the typical thin plastic one. Amazingly, no damage to the books and none missing, but the plastic was torn in many places, and one end was completely missing below the tape that was strapped about 2 inches from the bottom of the package.
