A post about GOD!

Okay, folks. Time to beat feet to the nearest bookstore and get your copy of GOD.

Garden of Darkness by the lovely, talented and sublime Anne Frasier has started showing up on bookstore shelves. Turns out I have two, because I saw it at Powell's yesterday and snapped it up, then got home to discover I'd pre-ordered Garden of Darkness from Amazon long-enough ago that I'd forgotten all about it. No worries. Just means I get to introduce someone new to Anne's work.

Though, to be sure, if this is your first taste, read Pale Immortal first. Garden of Darkness is the follow-up in the Tuonela series.

And what are these books about, you might ask? Well, Anne says it best:

About Pale Immortal

The sleepy town of Tuonela, Wisconsin, is known for one thing: the killer who stalked its streets one hundred years ago, drinking the blood of his victims. And when the drained corpse of a young girl is found, the citizens fear their past has risen from the grave -- and point their fingers at one man....

Evan Stroud can never see the light of day. The prisoner of a strange and terrible disease, he lives in tragic solitude, taunted for being a "vampire" --until the son he never knew he had shows up in Tuonela, and is drawn into its depraved, vampire-obsessed underworld. Then Evan must rely on his childhood friend, coroner Rachel Burton, for help. But the evil that they face is powerful and elusive -- and about to take them to the very edge of madness.

About Garden of Darkness

Rachel Burton tried to leave, but the killing brought her back. The skinned body was found in the woods, just as Rachel—the town medical examiner—was driving out of Tuonela for good, or so she thought. Now the betrayal of Evan Stroud—the man she’s always loved, the man who can never see the light of day—will continue to haunt her waking and sleeping hours…

Others are coming to Tuonela, drawn to the legend of the Pale Immortal, the so-called vampire whose exhumed body is now on display. And others will die. As Evan succumbs to madness, those around him will suspect the worst of him. But everything he is rumored to be will pale in comparison to the one who has been awakened…
