After Michael Crawford discovers his bride brutally murdered in their wedding bed, he is forced to flee from a malignant apparition claiming him as her own. If that's not intriguing enough, consider the other characters in this unusual historical fantasy: Byron, Keats, and Shelley. Nominated for the 1990 World Fantasy and Locus Awards, the story is introduced by Dean R. Koontz with an Afterword by James P. Blaylock and illustrations by the author.
