Fantasy. Fiction. Historical Fiction. HTML:

"Profound and enthralling. This book is a delicate dream, mixing its own internal mythology with a brutal tale of prejudice and human frailty. I can't recommend it enough. Tanzer is absolutely one to watch."
??Seanan McGuire, bestselling, award-winning author of In an Absent Dream
Amityville baywoman Ellie West fishes by day and bootlegs moonshine by night. It's dangerous work under Prohibition??independent operators like her are despised by federal agents and mobsters alike??but Ellie's brother was accepted to college and Ellie's desperate to see him go. So desperate that when wealthy strangers ask her to procure libations for an extravagant party Ellie sells them everything she has, including some booze she acquired under unusual circumstances.

What Ellie doesn't know is that this booze is special. Distilled from foul mushrooms by a cult of diabolists, those who drink it see terrible things??like the destruction of Long Island in fire and flood. The cult is masquerading as a church promising salvation through temperance and a return to "the good old days," so it's hard for Ellie to take a stand against them, especially when her father joins, but Ellie loves Long Island, and she loves her family, and she'll do whatever it takes to ensure neither is torn apart

While I was very surprised at the abrupt change in tone from the first book in this series, I loved the way Tanzer included threads of lore that those who've read the first book could follow in the second. As always, Tanzer's characters are deep and so easy to fall in love with (or hate, as the case may be). I found this one to be a bit less exciting than the first, but was thrilled that the demons/monsters were so horrifying!

I'd definitely recommend giving it a go! ( )

"How about you?" He eyed the final crate of booze. "You need any help?"
"Thanks, but this is the last of it. I better get going... SJ ran me off like a dog."
"Nah, she likes dogs." ( )

Susan waited and waited for Miss Depth to walk through the door of the Calico Cat and join her for tea, but after an hour she gave up.
The wind was east and the tide was running high by the time Ellie West finished jamming all the crates of moonshine liquor into the smuggler’s hold of her skiff.
