Out of the Closet and into the Coffin In this titillating memoir,
the dashing Larkspur Ishmael Benhorn (that's me) finally tells all,
revealing the events after I was smitten, then bitten, by the
delicious but deadly Count Zoltan Apponyi. Amid a perfectly
appropriate hissy-fit of passion I snagged the Count's precious
crystal ring. Unbeknownst to me then, the ring was a conduit to the
mystical world of Cornucopia and got me involved with cosmic
quandaries (wouldn't you know it ). The Count needed the ring back
for his quest, not to mention that it prevented him from aging.
Narcissistic bitch On the earthly plane, I confronted the
indignities of being the "living impaired," while inconveniently
fainting at the sight of blood. Yeech In 1861 I returned from
Europe to Evangeline, my ancestral plantation in the steamy
Louisiana bayou. There I befriended Fontainebleau, a French Creole
bat with "battitude." Faster than a duck on a June bug, I became
embroiled in my family's mayhem and madness. My sisters, Angelique
and Aurora, (God bless 'em) schemed to get rid of a sinister-in-law
intent on marrying our oldest brother, the Colonel, and stealing
the family inheritance. Devout Angelique dabbled in spiritualism
while Aurora had a lusty appetite for men and mixing strange brews
(drink at your own risk). The Colonel bullied my sisters and drank
to excess, lamenting the mysterious exit of his actress wife who
left her daughter, Lucinda, behind. Now a teenager, Lucinda's
budding sexuality aroused the lust in Aurora's son, George, a
(really lousy) riverboat gambler. Zoltan pursued me to Evangeline
and devised a scheme to seduce me (good thing), retrieve the ring,
and extract revenge (bad thing). Did I choose the hot-blooded Count
or stay true to myself? Sorry, not telling now. All will be
revealed as intrigue plays and passions burn in...SOUTHERN CHARM.
