Set in British Columbia, during the late nineteenth century, Ghost Drums is the story of Lazarus Kalon, who seeks to increase his already substantial powers by drinking the blood of a powerful shape shifter.This is the second story I have read of Matt Cole's and I was glad to find that his wonderfully embroidered prose is also evident in this nicely crafted tale.  Scenes are deliciously set and the atmosphere perfectly dismal, the ideal setting for such a dark and creepy exploit.This book remains both beautifully descriptive whilst never losing pace - a feat to be applauded.I believe this is one of two stories by Matt Cole with the same protagonist and I will definitely be getting my hands on the other one soon.  Lazarus is a perfectly nasty creature, ready for a series of grim adventures. Excellent stuff.
