Product Description
by Silas A. Bischoff (Author)
After a perfectly normal bird is captured by a perfectly deranged alchemist, and her soul is remade in torment,
she rots in a cage, dreading her doom, awaiting the perfect moment ...
Escape lies in the dark secrets of her new mind, as does a disturbing new thirst for blood.
Together with Vladimir, her feline companion in captivity, Torment sets out on a flight through realms of dreams and spirits in search of a way to break the curse that binds them to their master.
But in the vast and strange worlds yonder dwell the discontented spirits of the dead, and Torment and Vladimir are as likely to uncover the truth they seek as they are to be lost forever, or consumed by the ancient darkness stirring in the depths of their alchemically altered souls.
A novel filled with horrors lurking in the shadows, with whimsical creatures from surreal dimensions - a fable about journeys inward and onward into the unknown - featuring mad scholars, vampires from the dawn of time, animal familiars and giant slugs (among many other oddities).
Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett and Edgar Allan Poe, lovers of Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Otfried Preu ler's Krabat, for those who would like to see Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland meet Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in a modern dark fantasy.
