Lovecraft mets Blade Runner. This is a stand-alone supernatural
horror novel with a 30s noir atmosphere. Gene Wolfe can write in
whatever genre he wants--and always with superb style and profound
depth. Now following his World Fantasy Award winner, "Soldier of
Sidon," and his stunning "Pirate Freedom," Wolfe turns to the
tradition of H.P. Lovecraft and the weird science tale of
supernatural horror.
Set a hundred years in the future, "An Evil Guest" is a story of an
actress who becomes the lover of both a mysterious sorcerer and
private detective, and an even more mysterious and powerful rich
man, who has been to the human colony on an alien planet and
learned strange things there. Her loyalties are divided--perhaps
she loves them both. The detective helps her to release her inner
beauty and become a star overnight. And the rich man is the
benefactor of a play she stars in. But something is very wrong.
Money can be an evil guest, but there are other evils. As Lovecraft
said, "That is not dead which can eternal lie."
