When you receive this book, you'll feel as though you've stumbled into a cave and come across, an elven sword named Glamdring -- or the crown of the fabled Prester John -- a ring of invisibility, or even a Magic Lamp, prosaic as that may sound! You MAY even cartwheel with glee! NOTE: The book is lacking the slipcase, unfortunately.

About this title

Synopsis

In 1870s London, a city of contradictions and improbabilities, a dead man pilots an airship and living men are willing to risk all to steal a carp. Here, a night of bangers and ale at the local pub can result in an eternity at the Blood Pudding with the rest of the reanimated dead.

From the Publisher

Few writers dare attempt a historical fantasy in an effort to best Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and Robert Louis Stevenson at their own game, but back in 1986 - long before the current alternate history craze - James Blaylock not only tried, but succeeded brilliantly. Homunculus was awarded the Philip K. Dick Award.
