The Bible Repairman and Other Stories - Brossura

"Powers always goes the distance, never taking easy shortcuts that tempt authors with lesser imaginations."
Manchester Guardian

Powers knows the ways we get haunted by ambition, loss, greed, and heartbreak and you finish reading this handful of beautifully crafted tales wishing he’d tell us more.”
Locus

Mr. Powers makes you doubt the reality of your own [world]. Are there still sin-eaters and ghost-talkers quietly pursuing their trade in tenements and behind weed-infested yards, with regular tariffs and specializations? If there are, what do they know that you don’t? That’s what creates a true frisson.”
Wall Street Journal

Poignant.”
Publishers Weekly

Tim Powers’s first collection of short fiction in over half a decade, The Bible Repairman and Other Stories is a potent six-story collection that plays effortlessly with many of the author’s favorite themes.”

Powers specializes in hidden histories and all of these stories present a very real exterior and another world inside its cracks.”
Denver Post

Powers’s first new collection since 2005 assembles five stories and a novella, where he exhibits his extraordinary talent as a fantasist and his uncommon imaginative power.”
SF Site

Superb.... Here, in potent, distilled form, you will find Powers’s trademarked secret histories, heroically damaged (or damagedly heroic) losers, creepy supernatural phenomena, and macabre humor.”
Barnes & Noble Review
