The Stress of Her Regard

The Stress of Her Regard | Tim Powers

2 posts | 6 read | 7 to read

World Fantasy Award Winner Michael Crawford is forced to flee when discovers his bride brutally murdered in their wedding bed. Yet it is not the revengeful townspeople he fears but the deadly embrace of the malignant spirit that is claiming him as her bridegroom. Crawford will not travel alone; soon he is aided by his fellow victims, the greatest poets of his day�Byron, Keats, and Shelley. Together they embark upon a desperate journey, crisscrossing Europe and battling the vampiric fiend who seeks her ultimate pleasure in their ravaged bodies and imperiled souls. Telling a secret history of passion and terror, Tim Powers (The Anubis Gates, Declare, Three Days to Never) masterfully recasts the tragic lives of the Romantics into a uniquely frightening tale. Back in print for the first time since 1994, this newly revised edition of The Stress of Her Regard will thrill both Powers fans and newcomers to this gripping Gothic tour de force.

The Stress of Her Regard | Tim Powers

The blurb on this book is 👌🏼

“She is as beautiful as she is evil, an eons old power that has sparked a hundred myths & now threatens to ravage the lives of each of her lovers.
Lord Byron, Shelley & Keats - the worlds greatest poets - will find inspiration in her tender embrace... & life draining terror in her kiss. For she is immortal, unworldly, unmerciful...

Like a vampire.”

The Stress of Her Regard | Tim Powers

Tim Powers, I think these days this is just called Resting Bitch Face. 😂

That man is not just stressed. He's TERRIFIED. If only this happened in real life!

This cover's not as ugly as the rest from today but I just can't with sci fi covers in general. They're so bad they're good. 😂 This book does sound like something I'd actually read though, so there's that. 🐉

Martyn_J_Pass If only that man were sporting a handsome moustache he wouldn't be so fearful! 8y

OSChamberlain Boy you sure had a lot of fun with this tag 😂 8y

BookishFeminist @OSChamberlain There will be more. 😂 I think this is going to be a recurring post theme now. I run into way too many tragic book covers at used book sales lol 8y

BookishFeminist @The_Bear Or at least he'd be able to hide it better! 😂 8y

Martyn_J_Pass @BookishFeminist Ha ha ha ha 8y

DefLeppard @BookishFeminist this sounds from the tag line kind of like "Shadows after dark" by Ouida Crozier. That was a great book in the vampire genre. :) 8y
