The Works of Tim Powers

Before racing out to buy a copy of Hide Me Among the Graves on the 13th March 2012, you may want to read a teaser. HarperCollins has posted the book's prologue.

On the 13th of March 2012, Hide Me Among the Graves will be available to you and me. To take a quote from the publisher's web site, "A breathtaking historical thriller in which art and the supernatural collide, Hide Me Among the Graves transports readers back to mid-19th century London and features a reformed ex-prostitute, a veterinarian, and the vampire ghost of Lord Byron’s onetime physician, uncle to poet Christina Rossetti and her brother, the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti." For more information, visit the Willam Morrow web site.

A page for this novel has now been added to this site – you can access it by clicking the link above, or by using the Novels link to the left.

Some months ago, Arcana Pictures optioned the television and film rights to Tim Powers' World Fantasy Award-winning novel Last Call. Now they want to raise money to film a scene from the book.
