The Ascending by T.M Wright 1st Edition TOR 1994 Horror Hardcover
$15.00
“The Ryerson Biergarten books have always been my favorites of T.M. Wright’s works. The first two, The Changing and The Devouring, were published under the pseudonym of F.W. Armstrong in the mid-1980s, and the other two, Goodlow’s Ghosts and The Ascending, were published under his own name in the mid-1990s. Biergarten is a psychic who works with the forces of law and order to solve horrific crimes. With his faithful canine companion, Creosote, he helps both the living and the not-so-much who are in need of aid. The books are full of interesting and amusing investigations, along with Wright’s usual ambiguous and occasionally seemingly contradictory interactions with ghosts, but Ryerson also deals with werewolves, vampires, and other popular demons of the day. They’re a bit dated in spots, I’m sure (the covers of the first two are very much a relic of their era), but skimming through I think they would still hold pretty well. Wright was an excellent writer who excelled at creating a dreamlike quality in his quiet horror novels, an aspect which is present but secondary to rigorous plotting and good pacing in the Biergarten books. Ryerson was a literary descendant of Hodgson’s Carnacki and a forerunner of Butcher’s Dresden.” – Craig, Goodreads Review, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/363378.The_Ascending
