Grave Reservations

Brimstone
Regardless of the flaws in one of its lead protagonists, this dark historical fantasy from Priest (Maplecroft; Boneshaker) features an intriguing setting and fascinating details about the Prohibition era that will draw in readers. [See Prepub Alert, 10/21/16.]

Maplecroft
Not a necessity for all public libraries, but this is a good choice for library collections where horror genre titles circulate well. ["This clever premise combines genuine horror and a legendary historical character for an entertaining read," read the review of the Roc: NAL hc, LJ 8/14.]

Jacaranda: A Novella of the Clockwork Century
This slight story ties in only loosely with the rest of Priest's "Clockwork Century" universe, although there are a few references to the bigger world that the author has been exploring since 2009's Boneshaker and takes place 20 years after the most recent volume, Fiddlehead. Priest does a solid job of bringing on characters briefly, exposing the secrets that doomed them, and killing them off one at a time.
PREMIUM
Maplecroft
One could wish that the mechanics of the infection and the goals of the creatures were a little more (can I say it?) fleshed out, but this is apparently the start of a new series from Priest (Boneshaker) so we will surely learn more about the Lovecraftian horrors lurking off the New England coast.
PREMIUM
Boneshaker
While elements of the story will be familiar to fantasy and steampunk fans, they blend into something very fun, particularly in this new dramatization. Recommended for listeners who enjoy sf and genre fiction. [For more on this title, see the Q&A with the author on page 46.]
