The Drawing of the Dark by Tim Powers


I have recently reread this classic fantasy novel that was originally published in 1979. The Drawing of the Dark by Tim Powers is one of my all time favourite fantasy novels and one I would highly recommend.


I originally read this red covered copy back when I was much younger and picked up the later Fantasy Masterworks, green cover version some time later. Getting back into reading fantasy I picked this book off my daughters book shelf (she has quite a library of my books) earlier this year and really enjoyed reading it for the third time.

There are few books that I have reread this being one that I think I could read easily read for a fourth time!

I've got the same edition as your first copy, but it's his Anubis Gates that I tend to recommend to new readers.

I've also read The Anubus Gates but never thought it as good. It's great how one author can have such an effect with different novels.
