Nightmare Abbey was written in 1818 by Thomas Love Peacock. It is a gothic satire, which delights in parodying the current fashions of the time, such as the Romantic Movement in Literature and Transcendental Philosophy. Although the modern reader can enjoy these witty descriptions even today, it is debatable whether all the allusions can be appreciated without an in-depth study of the work, as Peacock referred to many friends of the family and historical characters.

"The Night Gardner" is as fine an example of crime fiction as one is likely to find. But to pigeonhole this book in even that well-respected genre is to do Pelecanos an injustice. The richness of color and detail, the power and pacing of the narrative, and the story`s emotional depth place Pelecanos squarely in the company of John Le Carre, Richard Price, and a handful of others whose skill transcends the confines of genre. Pelecanos has produced a crime novel that rewards readers with an experience that satisfies on a level not limited to mere entertainment.
