Book description
"Turns with the unpredictable intensity of a dream." -- FOREWORD (Starred Review)"An offbeat quest wrapped up in dark fantasy." -- BOOKLIST"An unmissable addition to the pantheon of adult fantasy literature." -- BROKEN FRONTIERAn anonymous parcel delivery boy arrives at a sprawling, chaotic mansion, in search of The Resident, who must sign for the package he bears, but this isn't nearly as simple a task as it should be. The mansion hosts an endless, frenzied party, and the partygoers impede his every step. As the quest takes him further into the dripping, black bowels of the labyrinthine house, his mission galvanizes into his single purpose for existence, and his determination to find The Resident may well prove his undoing.A phantasmagoric dark fantasy unlike anything you've ever explored before, from the wild imagination behind RICE BOY and THE HARROWING OF HELL.
