A fairy tale with bite--vampire-style. "Don't hold your breath waiting for Disney to film this very adult and erotic version of Beauty and the Beast." --Winnipeg Free Press "Will you give me your blood to drink, though you die of it?" In an unexpected twist on a fairy tale, an artist goes into the wilderness to fulfill his father's debt and finds himself the prisoner of a dangerously beautiful inhuman monster. "A Terrible Beauty is modern Canadian Gothic . . . Nancy Baker shows her mastery of the form--the mysterious letter, the journey into the wilderness, the shadows that hide from the flickering firelight--and her real affection for a good ol' fashioned vampire yarn." --The Telegraph Journal (Saint John) "Baker's narrative is seductive and compelling. Like Rice, she transcends the horror genre." --Province Showcase (Vancouver) "A polished and enchanting tale . . . It is, in a word, breathtaking." --Ottawa Citizen "Baker's prose is lush and sensual . . . she has a real gift for making the fantastic seem plausible and investing the mundane with eerie significance." --Toronto Sun "A very interesting and unique take on Beauty and the Beast." --SFFP Romance No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
