    About this audiobook

    Irresistibly drawn to mysteries, if only to debunk them, reporter Lionel Page exposes supernatural frauds, swindlers, and charlatans. His latest case is an obsession—at least for an ancient and wealthy heiress: verify the authenticity of a lost Edgar Allan Poe manuscript circulating through New York City’s literary underworld. But the shrewd Regina Dunkle offers more than money. It’s a pact. Fulfill her request, and Lionel’s own notorious buried past, one he’s been running from since he was a child, will remain hidden.

    As Lionel’s quest begins, so do the warnings. And where rare books go, murder follows. It’s only when Lionel meets enigmatic stranger Madison Hannah, his personal usher into the city’s secret history, that he realizes he’s being guided by a force more powerful than logic…and that he isn’t just following a story. He is the story.

    Now that the true purpose of his mission is revealing itself in the most terrifying ways, it may finally be time for Lionel to believe in the unbelievable.

    Ghosts of Gotham
    Author

    Craig Schaefer

    Craig Schaefer’s books have taken readers to the seamy edge of a crimi­nal underworld drenched in shadow through the Daniel Faust series; to a world torn by war, poison, and witchcraft by way of the Revanche Cycle series; and across a modern America mired in occult mysteries and a conspiracy of lies in the Harmony Black series. Despite this, people say he’s strangely normal. He lives in Illinois with a small retinue of cats, all of whom try to interrupt his writing schedule and/or kill him on a regular basis. He practices sleight of hand in his spare time, although he’s not very good at it.

      'Empire Of Wild' Tells A Small Story — But Not A Slight One

      Jul 29, 2020

      Cherie Dimaline's new novel seems small in scope — it's about a woman who loses her husband and is determined to bring him back, nothing more than that — but it's rich, tightly written and powerful.

      I really liked this book. It had everything I like, mystery, suspense, romance and magic but it also included tragedy, death and deception. This book started as an investigative journey and turned into a paranormal adventure. A mystery involving a short story by Edger Allen Poe turns into something else entirely and it’s all good. The story includes the Russian mafia, Greek mythology, Arthurian legends and a magical underworld all woven together seamlessly. I will definitely read more books by this author and hope that this book is part of a series and not just a standalone. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an arc in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

      I came into this book already a fan of Craig Schaefer's writing, and this book did not disappoint. In fact, it might be my favorite of his so far.I love that the story is rooted in reality, making the supernatural and fantasy aspects feel like they might well be happening around us. While we delve into magic and witches and ghosts, the content never feels far-fetched. So I now believe in secret magic societies. Go ahead and judge me!The characters are all well developed, unique, and fascinating. Lionel is the perfect everyday hero. He's likable, imperfect, and unprepared for the craziness he finds himself drawn into. The plot immediately hooked me. This story is complex, yet easy to get lost in.I want to talk about Madison and all that we learn about her, the underworld and what exists there, and that Poe manuscript... but I can't, because I don't want to give any spoilers. And so I'll just I found it all fascinating. This is a fun, exceptionally well written, totally entertaining novel.*I received an advance copy from the publisher, via NetGalley.*

      Ghosts of Gotham by Craig Schaefer is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. Wow, this book is extraordinary! It is going in my "favorite of all time folder"!It is a cross of mythology, The Supernaturals, Alfred Hitchcock, and a mash of every horror show I've seen. So many twists and surprises that I gave up on trying to figure it out and just held on and rode this wild ride to the end! Nothing is as it seems! No one is who they say they are... Ghouls, goddess, an old Poe manuscript, magic, cults, witches, and beings unknown. I loved every page! It is so tightly thought out. The characters are so real, so well developed. The suspense, the world building, the action, the mad genius of this novel is absolutely fabulous!I don't want to tell anything about it, I would hate to give anything away. Just read it if you love a good fantasy with lots of magic, lots of mysteries, a touch of romance, and through it all, a happy ending!
