When the Goblin Moon rises, strange things happen …
Coffins float down the river, hobgoblins emerge from their dens, alchemists pore over ancient texts in search of the secret of creating life — and one man fights a secret battle against cruelty and injustice, with wit, ingenuity, and a lethal lack of compunction.
GUNPOWDER AND ALCHEMY supersedes Sword and Sorcery in this swashbuckling tale of witchcraft, mesmerism, animal magnetism, schemes, subterfuges, disguises, revenges, secret societies, and secret identities

This book starts out well, with a bit of macabre and intrigue. It is fraught with a depth of descriptiveness of setting that reminds me of Dickens. As it moves on it gives the feel of the intrigue of Dumas. It appears to be peopled by creatures from either Tolkien or Rawlings.
It would like to weave several plot-lines that seem to come out of the center of the two character at the beginning whose connection at best is a six degree of separation to the others.
The plots explode into several direction peopled with characters that seem to have few if any redeeming qualities. The reader has no connection or sympathy for any. And it eventually tries to tie the plots together with their own climatic details. It leaves the reader disinterested in the predictable body count.
The most interesting of characters in this book is a man who seems to have several personalities. None of those with the least bit of redeemable characteristics. I sensed there was a back story to this man but I think I missed it even upon reading fully through a second time.
This book seems to be more about the descriptive setting than any one character. It is for the setting of the story that I feel the deepest sympathy.
Goblin Moon is for anyone who loves Charles Dickens and Alexander Dumas.
If I were to compare it I would say it was Little Dorret meets the Count of Monte Cristo.
It’s peopled with characters similar to Tolkien or J.K. Rawling.
Then throw in a dash of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein as a side dish.
It’s a wonderfully woven tale in a landscape that’s been drawn out like a tapestry.
There’s a sequel or second book so we must have this too in e-book soon!
