Summary

Ghosts can be caught, bottled, and sold by covert dealers to addicts who inhale the things - and when a young boy named Kootie accidentally inhales the ghost of Thomas Edison, he finds that all the factions of Los Angeles’s occult underground are after him, determined to kill him and get Edison’s powerful ghost for themselves.

Aided by Edison’s confused and irascible ghost, Kootie flees - and finds himself dodging perils natural and supernatural in the gritty alleys and trainyards of a Los Angeles that tourists never see.

From the slums around the LA River, to the abandoned Houdini mansion in the Hollywood Hills, to a final dramatic confrontation on the haunted ocean liner Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, Expiration Date is a heart-stopping supernatural adventure from one of fantasy fiction’s most original talents.

Excellent reader brought a new dimension to an old favourite

I’ve read this book a few times over the years, and decided to try having it read to me. It’s just as exciting, weird and intriguing as ever, and the reader paces it so well.
Tim Powers writes totally original, hard to describe weird magical fiction, fast-moving and jam-packed with ideas. If you like fiction spelled out for you this might not be your thing, but it you enjoy just letting the story lead you, this is a great book

Loved every minute

Have read expiration date several times before, having had it read to me in audible, has given it new scope. Would suggest this read to anyone with an interest in intrigue, ghosts and history. I hope you enjoy as much as I have.... Yet again
