  An occult historian’s journey of discovery continues in the second volume of this renowned literary fantasy series by “a deliciously elegant writer” (Kirkus). 
   
  In The Solitudes, John Crowley introduced readers to Pierce Moffett, a scholar whose area of expertise lies beyond the realm of our daily reality: a land of the imagination known as Ægypt. Retreating to the quiet of upstate New York, Moffett discovers the works of Fellows Kraft, an uncanny source of hermetic revelations. Now, in Love & Sleep, Moffett begins to understand the true importance—and power—of his studies. His search for a secret history of the world has brought him to the threshold of a new era . . . one in which magic works and angels speak to humankind. 
   
  John Crowley’s Ægypt Cycle is widely regarded as a masterpiece of fantasy literature. Harold Bloom included both The Solitudes and Love & Sleep in his Western Canon.

   "Are you serious?" asked Dr Death grimly. 
   "Yes who is he?" replied the Necromancer, "It's starting to look like anyone can kill someone and frame me for it."  
   "That means there is another killer out there it is serious," the coroner grumbled. 
   "The people in blue won't believe you when you tell them it is another killer," said the Necromancer. 
   "Looks like we will have to catch them ourselves, boy," said Dr Death to his son.
