Entre les bonnes mains et avec les bons acteurs cette histoire ferait un film excellent. Elle est fourmilliante de détails, les personnages sont hauts en couleur, parfait pour une adaptation visuelle. A lire, par contre, c'est un peu lourd. On arrive au dénouement sans surprise, la tension n'est pas aussi prononcée qu'elle aurait pu l'être en gardant un peu de mystère dans le développement.
Ceci dit, c'est quand même un fantastique portrait de New York à la fin du dix-neuvième, vraiment j'y étais !

J'ai beaucoup aimé, c'est glauque et sombre. Pas de surnaturel comme dans Blackwater mais j'ai ressenti beaucoup de satisfaction à voir la vengeance s'opérer. Par moments, j'étais captivée, à d'autres je trouvais ça un peu long.

I read this book many years ago and revisted it this summer.
This book is the bridge between McDowell's first two novels and his amazing book "Elementals" which bridged onto his wonderful "Blackwater" series. This series is one of the best Southern gothic horror series ever.
Unrelenting in descriptions of poverty and torment, which makes the read not one for the squeamish.
More of a revenge novel rather than a horror novel but still, a great progression beyond his first two novels. Dark whispers of the majesty to come.
