Johannes Cabal the Necromancer Post #1

This is the first blog post of the quater and I have finished a 337 page book called Johannes Cabal the Necromancer by Jonathan L. Howard.

The setting is a traveling carnival called The Cabal Brother's Traveling Carnival. It is a old rusty train at first but Mr. Bones and his crew make it look like it just came out of the factory. The carnival train stops at 20 stations.

The author describes some scientific principles but science it is a fantasy book they aren't described to well. One of the scientific principles is farther than light travel. Another one is flying.

Horst is Johannes brother and he is a vampire. He can move faster than the eye can see.
"Start being very careful now," he said urgently and blurred into the night. (Howard 226)
The train flow away from there last destination on midnight.
Leonine even had the impression, just before it vanished from sight, that it had lifted from the ground altogether and was travelling into the midnight sky like a great luminous eel from the ocean depth. (Howard 306)
I think the book was written more in a past setting so there are no future thing in it.
