A review by lovedayrobijn
The Etched City by K.J. Bishop

5.0

Phantasmagoric, dust-dry and rust-red novel of the same Weird Frontier breed as the ʾAlf Laylah wa-Laylah, Stephen King's Wizard and Glass, and Gene Wolfe's The Fifth Head of Cerberus -- stories concerned with the empty spaces where wind and ghosts are more at home than are we ourselves. More than any other author I can name, I wish desperately for a new novel by Bishop. A masterful prose stylist with an immense and unique gift.
