Why read it?
1 author picked Hide Me Among the Graves as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Tim Powers is an acknowledged modern master of the preternatural, but many readers probably don’t know he’s also a practicing Catholic.

Powers’s wild imagination casts the Thames River as Purgatory, songbirds as soul-catchers, and vampires as the ancient Biblical Nephilim. It’s a kitchen sink approach to fantasy that will keep readers guessing until the end.
From Karen's list on The best horror novels with Catholic themes.
