The Works of Tim Powers

Subterranean Press has announced they will be publishing Down and Out In Purgatory by Tim Powers (a 20,000 word contemporary fantasy novella) later this year in three editions (lettered, limited and trade hc).

What do you do if the man you’ve vowed to kill dies before you can kill him?

In college, Tom Holbrook worshipped Shasta DiMaio from afar, but she married the arrogant John Atwater—and Atwater eventually murdered her.

All that’s left for Tom is revenge. He has devoted the rest of his life to finding Atwater and killing him—but when he finally finds him, Atwater is in a bag in the Los Angeles County morgue.

How do you kill a man who has already died?
