In Rasputin&’s Bastards, David Nickle—the acclaimed author of Eutopia, Monstrous Affections, and Volk—offers readers &“an enormous tale, bewilderingly complex, but with lots of twists and turns that reward close attention. It is grotesque, violent, and exciting, with a supernatural tinge that is his hallmark&” (Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing). &“This novel is supernatural eeriness at its best, with intriguing characters, no clear heroes, and a dark passion at its heart. Horror aficionados and fans of Stephen King&’s larger novels should appreciate this macabre look at the aftermath of the Cold War.&” —Library Journal &“Stiffly compelling.
