A teacher, a pupil, in a class taught by a madman. Within his
academy of shadows teaching aids include: pornography, chains, and
Mozart; discipline is vigorous; mediocrity, unacceptable; and
uniforms are the curves and mounds of supple flesh. Here, Life or
Death are the only grades offered; Love me or die the only subject
taught. Both decadence and decency are the lessons of the day--are
you ready? Good. Let the learning begin. Following his
controversial first novel, Karma Incarnate: The Best of Foolkiller,
Bryan Gibson returns with his most controversial work to date,
Malefectus and Lesser Tales. Inspired by the gothic writings of
Charles Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, and the Marquis De Sade, this
collection features the bizarre and grotesque, all lavished in
brilliant--at times shocking--prose that will surely delight
serious readers. Prepare to be absorbed, disturbed, and entertained
by this terrifying, unforgiving work.
