Episode 74 of Speculate! — Tim Powers Novel Review (Hide Me Among The Graves)




Speculate! show

Summary: <br> Welcome to Episode 74 of Speculate! The Podcast for Writers, Readers and Fans.  In this episode we begin a new triptych of shows on the work of <a href="http://www.theworksoftimpowers.com/">Tim Powers</a>, focusing in particular on his most recent novel <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hide-Me-Among-Graves-Novel/dp/0061231541">Hide Me Among The Graves</a>–a “vampire ghost story” set in Victorian England starring poets, artists, prostitutes, and even a veterinarian.  What’s not to love?  As we touch on during our discussion, this is a book which rewards careful reading and knowledge of the genre, and between that and the historical research for which Tim is famous there’s a whole lot to chew on.  If you enjoy the discussion, don’t forget to check back next week when we’ll interview the author of this fantastic mix of real and supernatural himself.  Until then, thanks as always for listening, and please continue to spread the word about the show!<br>
