Michael Crawford is forced to flee when discovers his bride brutally
murdered in their wedding bed. Yet it is not the revengeful townspeople
he fears but the deadly embrace of the malignant spirit that is claiming
him as her bridegroom.
Crawford will not travel alone; soon he is aided by his fellow victims,
the greatest poets of his day—Byron, Keats, and Shelley. Together they
embark upon a desperate journey, crisscrossing Europe and battling the
vampiric fiend who seeks her ultimate pleasure in their ravaged bodies
and imperiled souls.
Telling a secret history of passion and terror, Tim Powers (The Anubis
Gates, Declare, Three Days to Never) masterfully recasts the tragic lives
of the Romantics into a uniquely frightening tale. Back in print for the
first time since 1994, this newly revised edition of The Stress of Her
Regard will thrill both Powers fans and newcomers to this gripping Gothic
tour de force.
