A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.
A superlative steampunk-like excursion into a teeming world that shadows Dickens, Aleister Crowley, China Mieville and the better masters of the fantastic. In 1893 in the aftermath of London's Great Storm, a young journalist loses his job when his paper closes and through his girlfriend finds new employment in spiritualist circles which leads the couple into occult happenings of a most bizarre nature, weird planetary explorations, and a dizzying set of adventures.
A potent blend of elements that truly shouldn't mix but do, this a wonderful tale of romance and the weird and derring-do that moves like a runaway train. An exuberant new American talent we shall see a lot more of, I reckon. Most rewarding.
THE REVOLUTIONS is a fantasy of the occult scene in fin de siecle London, the celestial spheres, and mystical Martian exploration. It follows two young lovers separated by the schemes and blundering of rival occultists, from the drawing rooms of spiritualist societies, through shady enterprises in Deptford warehouses, and magical war on the Isle of Dogs, and out to a hallucinatory, doomed Mars drawn from the fantasies of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the imaginings of Aleister Crowley, and the speculations of Victorian astronomers.
