The 19th century has inspired a number of genres of literature. Two modern genres that revisit this time period are Steampunk and Paranormal. Last month we looked at Steampunk here, so now let’s explore the Paranormal.
In a world where supernatural beings are commonplace, sometimes we fight them:
Queen Victoria : demon hunter / A.E. Moorat
Abraham Lincoln : vampire hunter / Seth Grahame-Smith
The adventures of Tom Sawyer and the undead / Mark Twain and Don Borchert
Sometimes, it is much more complicated:
Pride and prejudice and zombies : the classic Regency romance — now with ultraviolent zombie mayhem! / by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
Android Karenina / by Leo Tolstoy & Ben H. Winters ; illustrations by Eugene Smith ; translated by Constance Garnett
And sometimes, we live and work together:
Soulless : an Alexia Tarabotti novel / Gail Carriger
Changeless : an Alexia Tarabotti novel / Gail Carriger
Blameless : an Alexia Tarabotti novel / Gail Carriger
Heartless : an Alexia Tarabotti novel / Gail Carriger
Timeless : a Alexia Tarabotti novel / Gail Carriger
Gail Carriger, author of the Parasol Protectorate series above, will be coming to the library on June 23rd at 3pm. She will read from the novels above and be available for questions afterwards. No sign-ups required. Please come and meet her.
