James P. Blaylock

“Blaylock is one of the most brilliant of that new generation of fabulist writers: All the Bells on Earthmay be his best book … Enthralling” (The Washington Post Book World).

In the dead of night, a man climbs the tower of St. Anthony’s Church, driven by a compulsive urge to silence the bells.

In a deserted alley, a seemingly random victim is consumed by a torrent of flames.

And in the deceptive light of day, a mail-order businessman named Walt Stebbins receives a bizarre artifact—a glass jar containing the preserved body of a bluebird.

Things like this don’t usually happen in a town like Orange, California. Ordinary people don’t expect to face evil—real evil—in their backyards. But as Walt unravels the mystery of the bird in the jar, he learns that the battle between good and evil takes place every day …

“An absolute page-turner … A terrific novel by a master of the offbeat and the absurd. ” —The Washington Post Book World

“In the best tradition of The Twilight Zone, crossed with wacky characters, humor and moments of real love stunningly portrayed. ” —Rick Kleffel, The Agony Column

“With acrobatic grace, Blaylock, winner of two World Fantasy Awards, once again walks the dividing line between fantasy and horror—this time, as he relates a deal-with-the-devil story set in suburban Southern California. ” —Publishers Weekly

“While juxtaposing subtle humor with grim horror, the author portrays a world in which human virtues become mystic weapons and unlikely heroes grope their way toward salvation. ” —Library Journal

The Christian Trilogy

All the Bells on Earth

The second thriller in the supernatural trilogy by the World Fantasy Award–winning author— An “intriguing and absorbing work from a major talent” (Kirkus Reviews).

Howard Barton came to Mendocino in search of a folded scrap of paper. Not just any old scrap of paper, but one bearing what might be a sketch by the legendary Japanese artist, Hoku-sai. But Howard, unfortunately, is not the only one who wants the sketch …

There’s old Heloise Lamey, whose lush and noxious garden is watered with blood, ink, and stranger substances.

And the enigmatic Mr. Jimmers, the owner of a workshop that holds a bizarre invention designed to raise the dead.

Even Howard’s Uncle Roy, a builder of haunted houses and founder of the Museum of Modern Mysteries, has an interest in the sketch.

In Northern California, nothing is what it appears, but everything is connected— and Howard is led to a mysterious private war between secret, underground societies. Now he just needs to figure out whose side he’s on in the quest for the Paper Grail.

“Blaylock redeems the familiarity of his plot with a gift for drawing characters who are eccentric in delightful and original ways, whichever side of the war they are on. ” —Publishers Weekly

“Blaylock ventures into the realm of magical realism as eccentric matrons and failed entrepreneurs assume mythic proportions in this witty and intelligent metaphysical novel. This crossover novel belongs equally well in literary and fantasy collections. ” —Library Journal

The Paper Grail

A biblical betrayal drives this trilogy from the World Fantasy Award–winning author, “a singular American fabulist” (William Gibson, author of Neuromancer).

The price of immortality …

Two thousand years ago, there lived a man who sold some valuable information for a fee of thirty silver coins. His name was Judas Iscariot, and he is no longer with us. The coins, however, still exist—and still hold an elusive power over all who claim them …

Like Andrew Vanbergen, whose attempts at innkeeping bring in stranger business than he ever expected.

And Aunt Naomi, whose most prized family heirloom is a silver spoon—with a curiously ancient-looking engraving.

And especially old Mr. Pennyman, who is only five silver coins short of immortality …

“The Last Coin should confirm Blaylock’s position as a trendsetter, breaking new ground rather than just exploring the old. ” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Against a lyric vision of the Southern California coast, cosmic conspiracy theories bump heads in a gleeful farce to produce another strange and wonderful book from the idiosyncratic author of Homunculus and Land of Dreams. ” —Publishers Weekly

“Weird and wonderful touches abound; Blaylock makes good use of his coastal setting, extracting his own brand of magic from familiar places and familiar things. While Biblical conspiracies and revisionist scriptures are all the rage now, Blaylock got the jump on the current crop by several years. ” —SFF Chronicles
