Alpha and Omega - Paperback

Harry Turtledove, a New York Times bestselling author, has spent forty years dismantling reality to see why the wheels come off. Hugo and Sidewise Awards fill his mantle because he breaks facts for a living. Most people (including Publishers Weekly) call him the Master of Alternate History. That title is just a polite way of saying he is the only man who can make speculative dread feel like a peer-reviewed paper. Now he is applying that same grit to the supernatural with a Los Angeles that is full of vampires and gremlins living and working alongside us. Turtledove lives in the San Fernando Valley and treats these monsters like historical inevitabilities. Ancient demons and the ghosts of history both smell like old paper. This is a pivot by a man who already knows where the bodies are buried.
