Bibliomancy

The limited-release Bibliomancy, which won the World Fantasy Award in 2005) showcases a wildly inventive author at the height of her powers. Written in the author's characteristic poetic prose and rich with the details of traumatic lives that are luminously transformed, is a worthy addition to an outstanding career. "Pavane for a Prince of the Air" (2002) and "Cleopatra Brimstone" (2001) won International Horror Guild Awards, and appeared on Locus Magazine's Year's Best lists.
