A story with mystery, magical powers, scoundrels, tricks, twists and turns. Well written with nice storyline and plot. A fantasy fiction that is filled with a lot and where the author has made his research which only makes the story better.Alexander is the hero of this story. He has some adventures that not all turns out well. But it is a fun and eventful read that caught me.Recommendable to others that like fantasy fiction with an attitude.'A New King in Town' by Don Barr follows con artist Alexander Crowley, who is forced to go on the run after conning one person too many. The reason hi finds it so easy to take people for a ride, is that he has some magical abilities- he can put people under his spell and essentially take them for all that they have. Hiding out in Cornwall seemed like a good choice, but he soon finds himself back in peril, facing off against demons, mobsters, and a number of supernatural entities. An enjoyable
Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans!Alexander Crowley, reportable related to the occultist Aleister Crowley, has just hit the seaside town of St.Ives,Cornwall, intent on a bit of R+R.

Alexander Crowley- A New King in Town by Don Barr could easily be one of the funniest books around.

At least that is how the story begins, appropriately setting the stage for the fun that begins and continues throughout this rollicking novel. You will love
Set in a fictionalised St.Ives (the most south-westerly point of England), this is exactly as Barr describes it - a boys own adventure story for the twenty first century. With a twist. Part one being called Were All Going on a Summer Horrorday was enough for me to know this was going to be good! The central character, Alexander Crowley (related to the one and only Aleister Crowley, legendary occultist) is a Londoner and we hear the world as he speaks, Cockney Rhyming Slang and all, really
Learning that our protagonist, Alexander Crowley as a member of the Aleister Crowley lineage, only increases one's interest in reading this book. Known as a magician and trickster, Alex vacates to St. Ives holiday resort, granting him the most adventurous time off he's every experienced. Being the "new king in town" he never has to announce himself, as everyone including street cats knows just how powerful he is. Set out to reap the benefits of his celebrity status he encounters several
This is a great way to get lost in some magical fiction. If you like the Dresden Files youd love this. The story follows Alex, a decedent of the renowned Aleister Crowley. We follow him through a few different (mis)adventures and he always seems to come out on top even if he doesnt do so in the most honest of ways. The author does a great job of building dynamic characters in a rich setting. The story is great, the writing is sound (for the most part), and the characters made me smile more than
