Gothic madness at its best
- Well, this was truly a page-turner kins of book. As read with masterful character voicing by Carol Monda. Here we have a multi-tiered gothic story that involves college students, professors with magic powers and especially a primary character, Benandanti, who continues in the position of dealing with the end of the world. So many interesting characters, suffice to say: you will not be bored with this triumph of the genre.
