 | The Drawing of the Dark (Del Rey Impact) by Tim Powers
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $1.48 1979 - He's written better books, but this wasn't bad. An original take on a classic story.
|
 | The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $1.98 1983 - Spectacular but hard to describe. I think the imagery and the way he builds and conveys mood are the most striking things I remember about the book.
|
 | On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers
Buy new: $14.36 / Used from: $18.58 1987 - Terrific! The absolute best pirate novel I have ever found, no exceptions.
|
 | The Stress of Her Regard by Tim Powers
Buy used from: $3.22 1989 - Haven't read this yet.
|
 | Last Call by Tim Powers
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 1992 - I finished the book, but I don't know if I would ever recommend it. Original, certainly, but I didn't really enjoy reading it.
|
 | Expiration Date by Tim Powers
Buy new: $13.22 / Used from: $1.91 1995 - Haven't read this. But it's a sequel to "Last Call" and based on my reaction to that, I plan to skip this one.
|
 | Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.58 1990 - Absolutely hilarious! Terry Pratchett's humor plus Neil's storytelling ability is a great combination.
|
 | Neverwhere: A Novel by Neil Gaiman
Buy new: $10.07 / Used from: $5.35 1996 - Another great book. Very gothic -- set in London, never quite becomes a horror novel although it draws from that genre.
|
 | Stardust by Neil Gaiman
Buy used from: $1.95 1997 - Perhaps his best book. Think "The Princess Bride" -- but be warned, the book doesn't quite end like the movie adaptation did.
|
 | American Gods: A Novel by Neil Gaiman
Buy new: $10.19 / Used from: $4.59 2000 - Here I have to say, thumbs down. I tried to get into this book but it just turned me off. Maybe it would grow on me after awhile, but it didn't grab me in the first 50 pages and I never went further.
|
 | Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Buy new: $9.35 / Used from: $3.49 2002 - Pretty good. Sort of a horror novel for children - think dark suspense, not violent bloodshed. Not his best but has a certain flair.
|
 | Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.95 2005 - I haven't read this or any of this newer novels yet. Based on other reviews I'm a little hesitant to try this one though.
