Pestilentia Innamorata (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781651628300)

"O Plague, most radiant of lovers, sweep me into your embrace!"

The year is unknown, the kingdom is failing, and the Plague has grown lonely.

A king attempts to outlaw disease itself, drafting edicts against death. A foolish monk chases the Plague, eager to argue with it. A boy named Caden wanders through the sickened world, half man, half dream, until the Plague finds him and whispers, "You will be my companion."

A feverish, grotesquely poetic fable, Pestilentia Innamorata unfolds like a medieval mural of sickness and seduction-where the Plague dances like a courtly lady, desiring love as much as it brings death.

Darkly humorous, richly surreal, and teetering between fairy tale, theology, and absurdist horror, this is a danse macabre for the damned-a tale of kings and corpses, of lovers who do not live long, and of a world that rots beautifully.
