Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'I had been mistaken for him so many times that when he died it was as if part of myself had died too.'Kevin Thunder grew up with a double - a boy so uncannily like him that they were mistaken for each other at every turn. As children in 1960s Dublin, one lived next to Bram Stoker's house, haunted by an imagined Dracula, the other in the more refined spaces of Palmerston Park. Though divided, like the city itself, by background and class, they shared the same smell, the same looks, and perhaps, as he comes to realize, the same soul. They exchange identities when it suits them, as their lives take them to England and America, and find that taking on another's personality can lead to darker places than either had imagined. Neil Jordan's long-awaited new novel is an extraordinary achievement - a comedy of manners at the same time as a Gothic tragedy, a thriller and an elegy. It offers imaginative entertainment of the highest order.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From the Oscar-winning writer and director of The Crying Game and Interview With the Vampire comes a powerful novel about an intense rivalry--in politics and in love--between a father and son, set in Ireland and in Spain during the Civil War.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Menace both real and imagined haunt two Dubliners in this "unsettling . . . seductive" modern Gothic "that ultimately leaves one gasping" (Irish Times). "Vampires, secrets, the mysteries of identity: the obsessions that run through the director Neil Jordan's films are at the center of his beautifully enigmatic novel . . . of two look-alike men who feed off each other's souls all their crisscrossed lives" (The New York Times). Kevin Thunder and Gerald Spain have grown up on opposite sides of the Dublin economic divide. Kevin's father is a bookie and his mother takes in lodgers on the city's impoverished northside. Gerald, a lawyer's son, is afforded a more well-heeled upbringing. Yet they share a growing awareness of each other through episodes of mistaken identity. At first, innocent enough--one approached by the other's confused girlfriend, or being called out to in the street. But Kevin is unnerved by more than a doppelganger. He lives next door to the one-time home of Bram Stoker. And the shadows of the author's evil creation, as well as those cast by a lookalike stranger, stretch far across his early years. It's only when a tragic death sends both young men down a darker path, that Kevin and Gerald are destined to meet. A "beautifully enigmatic . . . darkly luminous" (The New York Times Book Review) thriller, Mistaken is also "the best novel I've read about Dublin in years" (The Independent).…
