Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Magician
Review: Houdini may have been a great magician but it is Steve Savile who performs the magic. Steve takes a well worn story and tells us another tale of all that is possible. He has the key to unlock your mind! For all of you....a must read. A++++


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pure Magic
Review: Steve Savile is an author who decorates his Christmas tree in brilliant shades of "what-ifs" and "maybes."

Houdini once promised his wife Bess that he would come back to her from beyond the grave. What if he was a man of his word? What if the feats of magic he performed weren't just slights of hand? What if Houdini's last illusion was just that? Maybe things would have turned out a little differently...

Savile is a master of literary fantasy. I predict that in 5 years, this novella will be a collector's item of such magnitude you'll be wishing you'd bought it when. Well, now's your chance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Haunting--in more ways than one!
Review: This book drew me right into the mind of Harry Houdini. The author's deft handling of period details and historical facts made it easy to believe--even when the spirits start arriving. It's a fascinating blend of reality and the edge of madness. A melancholy and moving read. It took me places I'd never thought to go, and made me glad I'd gone along.
