As with all of Lyons' work, these stories are dripping with atmosphere and mystery, with a little humour to lighten the load. The team of characters start to become old friends, like the gang from your favourite TV series. There's also a magic cat. Do you need any more reason to buy?

Set in an alternate York that's as much of a main character as its ragtag team of witches, demon hunters and occult fighters of all stripes (and, my personal favorite, Zero the cat), Lyons's Reawakening is a gorgeously gothic tapestry of tales. At times both endearingly funny and hair-raisingly dark, this short story collection works as a great stepping stone for the next book in the series. Just don't disturb the faery circle while you're at it.
