Camera Obscura - Lavie Tidhar

The second of the Kim Newmanesque excursions although often with skewed literary figures or facsimiles of. Doctor Frankenstein, Carmilla and neighbour, the Phantom of the Opera, Buffalo Bill, etc., etc.

This time things culminate in an American-style World's Fair event. Milady de Winter is a Council agent caught up in trying to stop it. Rather more Cleopatra Jones this gun for an arm woman than French manipulator, however, as she has to survive encounters with other enhanced or inhuman entities and stop an alien invasion.
