She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts.\n\nAfter all, she was a normal American herself once.\n\nThat was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by the man they called Father.\n\nIn the years since then, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient customs. They've studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God.\n\nNow, Father is missing—perhaps even dead—and the Library that holds his secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation.\n\nAs Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own.\n\nBut Carolyn has accounted for this.\n\nAnd Carolyn has a plan.\n\nThe only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she's forgotten to protect the things that make her human.\n\nPopulated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and signals the arrival of a major new voice in fantasy.\n\nPraise for The Library at Mount Char\n\n“An engrossing fantasy world full of supernatural beings and gruesome consequences.”—Boston Globe\n\n“Vivid . . . the dialogue sings . . . you'll spend equal time shuddering and chortling.”—Dallas Morning News\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0553418629\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0553418629.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hawkins, Scott\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
