We’ve just sent Tim Powers’ A Soul in a Bottle to the printer, so look for it in November. Meanwhile, Publishers Weekly clocked in with the following glowing review: “In this taut, eerie novella from Powers (Three Days to Never), used-book hunter George Sydney finds he can summon a beautiful poet when he discovers a signed volume containing a previously unknown variant on one sonnet… There are no thin, hairy specters lurking in this tale, and no cold grue to chill one’s bones. Its impact is more moral than visceral, evoking the pity and fear that are hallmarks of tragedy. Exquisitely illustrated by J. K. Potter, this slender volume is sure to appeal to epicures of the terrible.”

Limited: 500 signed leatherbound copies, with a different dust jacket than the trade: $45
