Hand of Devils
I am feeling rather stay-in-bed gloomy and sad. One of those things, I s'pose. I plan to go to Taruithorn's dancing tonight, so perhaps that will be cheering.
Anyway, quick hit: anyone want a copy of Lord John and the Hand of Devils? I've talked about Lord John before, and how wonderful he is: basically, these are the adventures of an eighteenth-century aristocrat and soldier, who is charming, debonair, genuinely delightful, and kind of gay. Actually he's just gay. All of his adventures are interspersed with the young man of the moment. Really, I recommend them.
Sadly, Hand of Devils is not the best one to start with - it's a collection of three novellas, and I rather think the third one doesn't stand alone, but the other two are great fun, and feature succubi and princesses and battles and jokes about masturbation. Shim got me this one thinking it was the one I didn't have, but alas, I do, so it's going spare.
Anyone? It's an A-format paperback, ex-library. UK for preference, but open to persuation.
