This tale of two young friends who find solace in each other and in a shared love of a band really blew me away. The grandiosity and lushness of the world Joseph Sale has created bring Clive Barker to mind. Beautifully written and dark as night, it definitely put me in mind of Imajica or Abarat. I can't wait to read the next books in the series.
