| | 1. |  | The Knights of the Cornerstone
from Ace
Price: $4.72
Customer Review:
The author of such California Gothics as The Rainy Season and All the Bells on Earth returns with another whimsical, nostalgic fantasy that seems gentle but then still manages to deliver a sharp-edged punch. Unemployed but comfortable, eccentric Calvin Bryson, a talented but not driven cartoonist,... more info

| | 2. |  | Homunculus
from Babbage Press
Price: $13.63
Customer Review:
Blaylock is so very mad in such a charming manner that, short of religious objections to the subject matter (mad science, murder, grave-robbing), it is uite simply impossible to not like this book.
And, in fact, if your religion does cause objections to this book, I advise that you find a new... more info

| | 3. |  | The Digging Leviathan
from Babbage Press
Price: $14.61
Customer Review:
I first read this book in the mid 80's, and it made me a Blaylock fan for life. I had never read anything like it, and can count on my fingers the books of this style I have read since (why couldn't Blaylock be a little more prolific?). Apparently, this book was completely misunderstood by his... more info

This volume collects four short stories ("The Ape-Box Affair", "The Hole in Space", "The Idol's Eye", "Two Views of a Cave Painting") and two novels ("Homunculus", "Lord Kelvin's Machine") all featuring the over-the-top adventures of Victorian inventor-hero, Langdon St Ives.

| | 5. |  | The Last Coin
from Ace
Price: $7.00
Customer Review:
I just want Mr Blaylock to know that even though I read The Last Coin many years ago, decades even, and have read it several times since, I've never forgotten what a perfect treasure this book is. In my closing middle age now, I'm currently putting together a list of books I want on my bookshelf and... more info

| | 6. |  | Lord Kelvin's Machine: A Novel
from Arkham House Publishers
Price: $23.95
Customer Review:
Essentially a pastiche of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, HG wells, and Victorian adventure stories. Written with a breathless style and not enough humor to overcome the cliched characterization. The plot features a slightly confusing effort at use of time travel paradoxes.

| | 8. |  | All The Bells on Earth
from Ace
Price: $94.51
Customer Review:
A pleasant and entertaining ill-got-ill-spent story in spite of a main plot line at times diluted with irrelevant subplots. JB has got an easy way of writing that gently takes your hand and leads you through terrible events with a compassionate soul. I liked it and felt quenched when I turned the... more info

| | 9. | [no image] | The Elfin Ship
from Grafton
Customer Review:
I've been anxious to try Blaylock's work for a while, but this was the only book of his that I found among three bookstores. While not a bad book by any means, it's not terribly good either. It plods. Several sentences jumped out as clunkers. As an adventure story, in fact, I'd rate this pretty low.... more info

| | 10. |  | Paper Grail
from Ace
Customer Review:
A book a bit too long. Rather difficult to characterize. Not bad but not very good. A story I was eager to discover and found dragging on. The main interest of this book lies in the uncanny atmosphere JB creates to make you believe the world is not what you know it is.
