   Additional Information  
 
  Hic Monstra delitescunt . . .
A lyrical anti-quest through a darkly conscious maze—a dark pilgrim’s progress through a landscape of vicious Angels, plague houses, crocodile-prophets, tragic chess-sets, and the mind of a nameless woman, driven on by the mocking guide who seeks to destroy as much as save.

Enter the world of the Labyrinth, where Doors do not wait to be opened, but hunt you in the night. This is Zarathustra in Wonderland, a surreal journey, a twisted path through language and madness . . .

Sed puella, ubi abscondes?
