Description: 6.25" x 9.25", 392 page hardcover with dustjacket titled THE STRESS OF HER REGARD by Tim Powers/ Ace Books, ISBN # 0-441-79055-0, First Edition, September 1989/ The Stress of Her Regard is a 1989 horror/fantasy novel by Tim Powers. It was nominated for the 1990 World Fantasy and Locus Awards in 1990, and won a Mythopoeic Award. As with a number of Powers's other novels, it proposes a secret history in which real events have supernatural causes: in this case, the lives of famous English Romantic writers—as well as political events in central Europe during the early 19th century—are largely determined by a race of protean vampire-like creatures known as nephilim. Drawing from European and Middle Eastern mythology, Powers depicts these beings as having qualities of vampires, succubi, incubi, Lamia, fairies, and jinn. Not only predators but sometimes benefactors of humans, they are the basis for both the Muses and the Graeae. The book is complete and in FINE condition with some overall light wear mainly to the dustjacket. There is also a small bug stain between a couple of the pages. I've had this book since I bought it in 1989 and I'm slowly beginning to thin out my collection.
