Ordinary people don't expect to face evil - real evil - in their backyards. But as Walt unravels the mystery of the bird in the jar, he learns that the battle between good and evil is taking place every day...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorld Fantasy Award-winning author James P. Blaylock, one of the pioneers of the steampunk genre, has written eighteen novels as well as scores of short stories, essays, and articles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\"Blaylock is one of the most brilliant of that new generation of fabulist writers: \u003ci\u003eAll the Bells on Earth\u003c\/i\u003e may be his best book... mystical and enthralling.\" -- \u003ci\u003eWashington Post Book World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"...in the best tradition of \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Zone\u003c\/i\u003e, crossed with wacky characters, humor and moments of real love stunningly portrayed... Blaylock doesn't give his supernatural events the short shrift. His low-key descriptions ring true and are quite chilling, much more so than the buckets of gore we're used to finding in horror novels. But then, \u003ci\u003eAll the Bells on Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is quite a bit more than a horror novel, or a simple confrontation between good and evil. It's an effective evocation of love and greed, played out in the small events of everyday lives, where common virtues save personal worlds and simple sacrifices redeem suburban families.\" -- Rick Kleffel, \"The Agony Column\"","brand":"JABberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137302216944,"sku":"9781936535699","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936535699_p0.jpg?v=1769896860","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936535699","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
