What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The Drawing of the Dark is not only one of my favorite Tim Powers novels, it’s simply one of my favorite novels. The seamless and seemingly effortless blend of action and humor, the wonderful characters, the rich settings, the brilliant plot–all of it is perfect.” –JAMES P. BLAYLOCK “Tim Powers does it right! Combining the best of mythology and real history, he takes you on a rollicking magical adventure that is both tense and hilarious. You won’t read a more plausible explanation for Western Civilization, or one that’s half so much fun. So raise your glass to The Drawing of the Dark.” –DAVID BRIN

“I stand in awe of Tim Powers’s recent work, but I must confess my secret love for The Drawing of the Dark. Powers was one of the first to put fantasy back in the city where it belongs! If you’re sick of endless quests through murky woods and lonely mountains, this is the place to start.” –ELLEN KUSHNER Author of Swordspoint

“Tim Powers is like no other. Tim Powers is granite where others are shale. Tim Powers chuckles like a river at night. Tim Powers is like a butterfly hovering at the pin, ruminating, eyebrow cocked, over the dancing angels. Tim Powers is not like any other, now and far into tomorrow.” –ALGIS BUDRYS Editor of Tomorrow
