This one is a alternate history adventure story in which Nikola Tesla and Aleister Crowley team up to subvert a mystical plot to use Edison's famous Spirit Phone to bring truly evil beings into the world in an attempt to bring about something of a new world order. If you enjoy Sherlock Holmes, supernatural mysteries, chapter tales like The Rocketeer, and dry wit along those lines you'll be likely to enjoy this one. For my own tastes this was a bit dry and impersonal and I was chagrined to find very few female characters (and that those who were there came in the form of uncouth harpies and demons at the beck and call of male sorcerers). However, I did still enjoy finding out where things would go next and the interplay between Crowley and Tesla despite their not quite feeling as complex of characters as two such figures would have been in my mind.
