Tim Powers

I recently discovered the author Tim Powers through my book club. I found his book "Hide Me Among the Graves" then read that it was a sequel to  "The Stress of  Her Regard." Since I have to read books in order, I found it at my library. 

It's an amazing, mesmerizing book. It takes the historical poets Byron, Keats, and Shelley and weaves a vampire story into their history.  I looked up their biographies on Wikipedia and it was uncanny how Powers accounted for some of the major events in their lives.

"Hide Me Among the Graves" deals with the Rosetti's in the 1860's and I'm excited to start reading it next.
