Today's Inquirer reviews ...

... I anticipate Halloween with a look at Charles Williams' 1945 novel All Hallows' Eve: A haunted tale in London - with the cuteness exorcised.

... Roger Miller ponders Weimar: Doomed stab at democracy.

... Martha Woodall is much taken with Jonis Agee's The River Wife: Wife on the Mississippi, plumbing the depths of her forerunners.

During the past week ...

  1. Thanks for reviewing Charles Williams' All Hallow's Eve. It's a favorite novel of mine, and I'm glad to see it back in print. All of his novels are quite unique, as was his poetry. A very interesting writer.

    Cheers!

    Yes, thank you -- I read your review and now I want to read the book. I love quirky spooky tales like that ("Hawksmoor" by Peter Ackroyd another such).
