- Summary:
- "In this collection of nine eerie stories, Iginio Ugo Tarchetti switches effortlessly between the macabre and the effortlessly comical. Set in nineteenth-century Italy, his characters court spirits and blend in with the undead: passionate romances filled with jealousy and devotion are fueled by magic elixirs. Time becomes fluid as characters travel between centuries, chasing affairs that never quite prosper"-- Provided by publisher.
