 Buffyesque baker Rae "Sunshine" Seddon meets Count Dracula's hunky Byronic cousin in Newbery-Award-winner McKinley's... adult-and-then-some romp through the darkling streets of a spooky post-Voodoo Wars world.... Most of the charm of this long venture into magic maturation derives from McKinley's keen ear and sensitive atmospherics, deft characterizations and clever juxtapositions of reality and the supernatural that might, just might, be lurking out there in "bad spots" right around a creepy urban corner or next to a deserted lake cabin. McKinley knows very well — and makes her readers believe — that "the insides of our own minds are the scariest things there are."

I woke up too early, so started reading Robin McKinley's forthcoming novel
Sunshine in the bath. It's an astonishing piece of work. A gripping, funny,
page-turning pretty much perfect work of magical literature that exists more or
less at the unlikely crossroads of Chocolat, Interview With a Vampire, Misery
and the tale of Beauty and the Beast. It's not quite SF, and it's not really
horror, and only kind of a love story, and it's all three while still being
solidly Fantastique. It also does that nice thing where the author assumes the
readers are smart, and she treats us like we're smart, and we purr and get
smarter and work harder for all that. It'll be nominated for awards, and win them;
in the meantime I really hope it finds its audience, which is, potentially,
huge.
