Chris reviewed Expiration Date by Tim Powers (Fault Lines, #2)
None
4 stars
A boy brought up by theosophists finds and ingests a ghost in a bottle. Los Angeles turns weird; ghosts throng, and the ways of Mexican brujeria are called into play. This is one of the strangest books I have read in a long time and really lives up to Powers's reputation as a fabulist. After a while the reader begins to accept the Alice-in-Wonderland-like world as real.
