When Michael Crawford discovers his bride brutally murdered in their wedding bed, he is forced to flee not only to prove his innocence but to avoid the deadly embrace of a vampire who has claimed him as her true bridegroom. Joining forces with Byron, Keats, and Shelley in a desperate journey that crisscrosses Europe, Crawford desperately seeks his freedom from this vengeful lover who haunts his dreams and will not rest until she destroys all that he cherishes. Told in the guise of a secret history, this tale of passion and terror brilliantly evokes the nineteenth century. The chilling horror and adventure blend to create a riveting romantic fantasy.

Review:
''Set early in the nineteenth century, Powers' seventh novel is a horror story that wonderfully evokes the period . . . Strewn with literary personages and allusions, the book is entertaining on several levels, but most particularly as a chilling horror-adventure.'' --Publishers Weekly
''Good serious fantasy doesn't come much better than The Stress of Her Regard.'' -- Oxford Times
''A Tim Powers science fiction novel never fails to titillate and elucidate with the dark and the bizarre, and all with such original, eccentric color and style. This novel -- Powers' seventh --is a shining example.'' --Los Angeles Times
''Powers has already proved that he is a master of what he terms 'doing card tricks in the dark,' referring to the incredible amount of historical, biographical, and practical research that goes into his works.'' -- Harvard Review
''A reigning master of adult contemporary fantasy.'' -- Booklist
''The reigning king of adult historical fantasy.'' --Kirkus Reviews
