She’s coaxed into hosting a party and enlists Ellie’s help to supply the all-important booze. Meanwhile, Fin, a socialite visiting the island to escape the city, feels disconnected from her husband and the rest of her friends from high society. When she discovers a wrecked ship stocked with bottles of a mysterious liquid, she naturally takes them for herself. It’s the height of Prohibition, and she smuggles liquor by boat to paying customers all over Long Island. But what do you have to give to receive these gifts? In the case of Molly Tanzer’s fun and atmospheric Creatures of Want and Ruin, two women from very different walks of life have to figure out what the demon wants before Long Island is swallowed by an evil they don’t understand. Maybe you end up with superhuman strength, riches beyond your wildest dreams or the admiration of those around you. In many fantasy stories, making a deal with a demon starts out as a good idea.
