Something Wicked This Way Comes! by William Todd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A delight of historical fictipn (late 19th century), combining paranormal, science fiction, and mystery with endearing characters, sharp-edged villains, and a heaping helping of altruism, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES is set on Lake Erie and surrounds in 1888. A debt-ridden steamship owner is tasked to transport secretive cargo across the Lake for a university archaeological expedition. No hint as to the nature of that cargo, but an irresistible triple payment for the crossing. If only!! This story is unexpected and riveting.
