"Really fricking stunning read, as always.<br/>I want a whole collection of these bad boys, I feel like I'm eating all this new magical info like a queen. You always see Steampunk and fantasy in typical European scenarios, but here Clark takes the cake. God, such an amazing mix of creatures and cultures tied all so nicely that my head is left spinning and I enjoy every minute of it.<br/>I've found myself in a rut lately but these books are great to just punt me out of it.<br/>"

"This was incredible! It makes me want to immediately start reading a full length novel by the author. It was spooky and creepy, but still steeped in folklore that the investigators had to tease out. The story had a decidedly feminist angle, which I appreciate the hell out of, and it had an excellent resolution. I love a good haunting and this was perfect!"
