Wow.

Just, wow.

I finally found someone who writes in the style of Kim Newman -- high-concept books. The ideas are glorious and in the third instalment they just get....perfect. They are great, grandiose: libraries made of people, an army of cats, a collection with a ton of strange and wondrous things, bravery from assholish people, and a dinning room with a thunderstorm in it.

Loved it. Now I wish the author had written more books than just these....
