“Carcosa leaves its traces wherever those who have been marked by its beauty tread.”
The lost city of Carcosa. Where is it and how does one get there? For Alan Chambers, it is his ultimate goal. Always having lived through a life of misunderstanding and unacceptance, he seeks that which he most desires. He must go through the “Ritual of Five” if he wishes to be granted entry. Will he endure the dangers and will it be worth it? Will he be accepted into the Yellow City?
The complexity of this haunting tale takes us on a journey of horrifying imaginings. A world full of chaos and terrifying orders. Lost and broken souls and the desire for power. Some choosing to revere the Gods and others choosing to follow the path of darkness amongst the demons.
The descriptive prose is breath taking and even through the darkness there is a shining light within the hearts of those longing for what is right and true.
With themes of eroticism, carnal desires, extreme horrors, and a city alive with chaotic magnificence, it will transcend you into a fantastical world of wonder. An experience that break the boundaries of the imagination.
“It was both body and tomb, asylum and palace, inner sanctum and outer space.”
