Toadswart D'Amplestone by Tim A. Conrad
A horror story in the classic mode. A gothic melodrama of madness and murder, blasphemous ambition and tragic fate. All the mythic elements are here - the towering ramparts of a doom plagued castle, a misshapen dwarf, a Mad Prince and Princess in distress, loyal servitors and plotting courtiers, feudal power plays, sorcerers, monsters - adroitly woven into a tale as engrossing and entangling as the web of a demented spider.

All the mythic elements are here - the towering ramparts of a doom plagued castle, a misshapen dwarf, a Mad Prince and his Princess in distress, loyal servitors and plotting courtiers, feudal power plays, sorcerers, magic and monsters -adroitly woven into a tale as engrossing -and entangling - as the web of some demented spider. It is a compelling chiaroscuro of black desire and blinding revelation in the depths of the Dark Ages.
