Well I suspected you'd reply in this way even as I asked the question (I'd probably do the same) and yes you're right it's probably not fair or realistic to single out a particular work as each has it's own set of charateristics but you can't blame me for trying hey?...

Having said that you've really really got me interested in Goblin Moon because of your reference to 18th Century science and magic. I love those kinds of inlfuences in books. You may be aware I'm currently researching the history of alchemy and whilst it's profile began to decline form the 18th century onwards as a "serious science" in the view of the mainstream, I love books with that or any other science pseudo or otherwise from that period. I'm going to try to track this book down I think....
