James P. Blaylock Books Overview

The Last Coin

An evil man strives for immortality by collecting the thirty pieces of silver that once belonged to Judas but somehow ended up in California, and only a sing coin stands between the world and certain apocalypse. Reissue. PW.

The Rainy Season

The Digging Leviathan

Science Fiction. Southern California sunny days, blue skies, neighbors on flying bicycles…
ghostly submarines…
mermen off the Catalina coast…
and a vast underground sea stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Inland Empire where Chinese junks ply an illicit trade and enormous creatures from ages past still survive. It is a place of wonder…
and dark conspiracies. A place rife with adventure if one knows where to look for it. Two such seekers are the teenagers Jim Hastings and his friend, Giles Peach. Giles was born with a wonderful set of gills along his neck and insatiable appetite for reading. Drawing inspiration from the novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Giles is determined to build a Digging Leviathan. Will he reach the center of the earth? or destroy it in the process?

Homunculus

Homonculus is a fascinating trip to a London that never existed…
but perhaps should have. Darkly atmospheric, Homonculus weaves together the stories of Narbondo a mad hunchback who works tirelessly to bring the dead back to life, of the members of the Trismegistus Club a surly group of scientists and philosophers who meet at Captain Powers’ Pipe Shop, and of the homonculus a tiny man whose powers can drive men to murder.

Lord Kelvin’s Machine

Determined to avert the doom of his beloved wife, scientist and detective Langdon St. Ives sees his only hope for doing so in Lord Kelvin’s time machine, but the diabolical Dr. Ignacio Narbondo has other plans for the invention. AB.

The Adventures of Langdon St. Ives

A good deal of controversy arose late in the last century over what has been referred to by the more livid newspapers as The Horror in St. James Park or The Ape box Affair…
. So begins the first chronicle in the long and often obscure life of Langdon St. Ives, Victorian scientist and adventurer, respected member of the Explorers Club and of societies far more obscure, consultant to scientific luminaries, and secret, unheralded savior of humankind. From the depths of the Borneo jungles to the starlit reaches of outer space, and ultimately through the dark corridors of past and future time, The Adventures of Langdon St. Ives invariably lead him back to the streets and alleys of the busiest, darkest, most secretive city in the world London in the age of steam and gaslamps, with the Thames fog settling in over the vast city of perpetual evening. St. Ives, in pursuit of the infamous Dr. Ignacio Narbondo, discovers the living horror of revivified corpses, the deep sea mystery of a machine with the power to drag ships to their doom, and the appalling threat of a skeleton piloted airship descending toward the city of London itself, carrying within its gondola a living homunculus with the power to drive men mad…
. This omnibus volume contains the collected Steampunk stories and novels of James P. Blaylock, one of the originators of the genre, which hearkens back to the worlds of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, a world where science was a work of the imagination, and the imagination was endlessly free to dream. The Adventures of Langdon St. Ives will contain the original illustrations J. K. Potter created for the novel Lord Kelvin’s Machine, plus many more for the novel, Homunculus, and the short stories.

The Ebb Tide

A flaming meteor over the Yorkshire Dales, a long lost map drawn by the lunatic Bill Cuttle Kraken, and the discovery of a secret subterranean shipyard beneath the River Thames lead Professor Langdon St. Ives and his intrepid friend Jack Owlesby into the treacherous environs of Morecambe Bay, with its dangerous tides and vast quicksand pits. They descend beneath the sands of the Bay itself, into a dark, unknown ocean littered with human bones and the remnants of human dreams. In this tale of murder, infamy, and Victorian intrigue, the tides of destiny shift relentlessly and rapidly as the stakes grow ever higher and the pursuit more deadly…
.
