Really. The roof’s red hot and there’s no-one in,” said Percy, getting his breath and his words back at the same time. “You have to phone – please!” Jodie still hesitated. Inspiration struck Percy: “They might have a dog or a cat in there,” he said. “They might get burned to death!” he added with maximum melodrama in his voice. “Puddles!” said Jodie suddenly. “Puddles lives there. He’s Mandy’s kitten.” She picked up her mobile and dialled. Percy slumped back against the radiator with relief. It was short lived. “Number eight’s on fire,” she explained into the phone. ”We can see lots of smoke. Please can you come very very quickly. No, I’m not inside, but Puddles is. No, I don’t know who else is inside because Mr and Mrs McHeatherpot have gone to Aberdeen, but Kylie and Wayne are probably in there. I expect it will all explode soon so you’d better hurry. Goodbye.” “We can’t leave Puddles to burn,” Jodie announced firmly, putting her mobile down. “You’ll have to rescue him. The fire brigade will take far too long to get here from Sprawlton.” “Who are Kylie and Wayne?” asked Percy. “Mandy’s goldfish. Actually, we think Puddles ate them last week because we couldn’t find them but they may have swum down the plughole” Views: 415

Gathering darkly fantastic short fiction previously available only in limited editions, this collection explores the mysteries of souls—whether they are sacrificed on the pinnacle of Mount Parnassus or lodged in a television cable box. In a Kabbalistic tale of transformation, the executor of an old friend’s will is almost duped into housing his soul. In a tale of time travel between 2015 and 1975, a tragedy sparked by an angel falling onto a pizza shop is reenacted—and the event is barely, but fatally, altered. The cornerstone of the collection is a postscript to the harrowing novel of the haunting of the Romantic poets, The Stress of Her Regard. Once Byron and Shelley break free of the succubus that claimed them, their associate, Trelawny, forges an alliance with Greek rebels to reestablish the deadly connection between man and the nephilim. Fans of Powers’s renowned secret histories will delight as he deftly weaves an array of fantastical creatures into richly layered narratives of the past. Views: 414
