“Hope, I've discovered, is a sad nuisance. Hope is a horse with a broken leg.”
Lyndsay Faye, The Gods of Gotham

“Nothing is as bad as it seems,' I thought with the last remnants of my dense optimism. It couldn't be. I'd already lost everything once, I'd been ten, and so had countless other people I knew, and they all picked up and kept going. Or they picked up and went in a slightly different direction.”
Lyndsay Faye, The Gods of Gotham

“It was a gorgeous calamity in scale, I thought. A lovely misfortune. Immediate and irreversible and very soon forgotten. We needed more troubles like that. Ones like burning supper or coming down with a head cold at an awkward time. I desperately wanted to pass through countless small, endurable problems with the girl sitting next to me. I didn't need much else.”

Chris Teel Finished Gods of Gotham this morning and it was amazing. Thankfully I recently jammed my Kindle full of Sherlock Holmes stories to tide me over. Hadn't read Holmes prior to Dust and Shadow. Can't wait for your next book.


Michael I finished TGOG and posted a review. Thanks for writing an enjoyable book. I look forward to your work in the future!
