If you loved the offbeat inventions and secret societies that Brian and Jim encounter in The Digging Leviathan, you'll be swept up by The Anubis Gates, where time travel, ancient sorcery, and eccentric historical characters entangle the hero in an unpredictable, madcap adventure through 19th-century London. Like Blaylock’s novel, Powers fills the story with outrageous conspiracies and a sense of delightful, imaginative chaos.

If the surreal humor and clever banter between the likes of Jim and his eccentric uncle Edward in The Digging Leviathan made you smile, you’ll adore Good Omens. Gaiman and Pratchett spin an apocalyptic tale full of absurd misunderstandings, witty dialogue, and delightfully oddball characters as an angel and a demon scramble to avert the end of the world.

The ragtag group of dreamers, inventors, and schemers you met in The Digging Leviathan will feel right at home in The Gone-Away World. Harkaway’s novel is packed with a wildly diverse cast, from ex-ninjas to gonzo truckers, all drawn together by a world-altering catastrophe and a mission that spirals into the utterly unpredictable.

If you delighted in the way The Digging Leviathan blurs reality with underground submarines and mysterious scientific gadgets, The Eyre Affair will charm you with its literary detectives, book-jumping technology, and a world where the absurd is just everyday business. Thursday Next’s adventures are as gleefully inventive and unpredictable as Blaylock’s.

If you were enchanted by the hidden societies, underground realms, and the sense that Los Angeles hides stranger things than anyone suspects in The Digging Leviathan, Little, Big offers a hauntingly beautiful take on the magical lurking within the everyday. Crowley’s tale of the Drinkwater family and their house at the edge of fairyland is a masterwork of subtle, imaginative world-bending.
