THE DUKE IN HIS CASTLE by Nebula Award-nominated author and
award-winning artist Vera Nazarian is a dark, lush, erotic fantasy
novella in the vein of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast, with interior
illustrations by the author.
Rossian, the young Duke of Violet, wastes away in mad solitude,
unable to leave the confines of his decadent castle grounds because
of a mysterious invisible barrier...until a strange female intruder
arrives at the castle bearing a box of bones.
"Vera Nazarian combines the wry and poignant charm of Hans
Christian Andersen with the subversive wallop of Angela Carter in
crafting this gem of a fairy tale. No longer merely a promising
writer, Nazarian has arrived."
-Paul Witcover
"Vera Nazarian is a writer seemingly so full of story that it
just comes bubbling uncontrollably out of her... The Duke in his
Castle shows her at the peak of her form in a deceptively simple
tale that probes the nature of life and death, of power and
succumbing, and ultimately of good and both the evils-active evil
and the evil born from apathy."
-John Grant, Co-Editor of "The Encyclopedia of Fantasy"
