Definitely a strong novel that often reads like a found-footage movie. Apparently Gemma Files was once a film critic, and that comes through in this story of a film professor who sets out to write a book about a lost Canadian filmmaker and ends up confronting a demigod. Strong characters, interesting tonal shifts, excellent mythology, and a story that rolls headlong into a classic confrontation between good and evil.

I’d never heard of Lady Midday, but I’ll not likely forget her soon.
