The Prestige
Christopher Priest
A bitter rivalry between two Victorian stage magicians, told through journals and documents, echoes the obsessive Strange and Norrell partnership with a darker, unsettling edge.
Shades of Milk and Honey
Mary Robinette Kowal
An openly Austen-inspired novel where drawing-room accomplishments include glamour magic, ideal if you loved the Regency manners side of Clarke's book in a shorter form.
Lud-in-the-mist
Hope Mirrlees
A classic Clarke herself admires: a prim town that has outlawed fairy fruit, written with the same wry humour and creeping strangeness as the gentleman with the thistle-down hair.
