The Door to Lost Pages

Claude Lalumière

STEP THROUGH THE DOOR TO LOST PAGES AND ESCAPE A LIFE YOU NEVER WANTED...

On her tenth birthday, Aydee runs away from home and from her neglectful parents. At first, surviving alone on the streets is harsh, but a series of frightening, bewildering encounters with strange primordial creatures leads her to a bookshop called Lost Pages, where she steps into a fantastic, sometimes dangerous, but exciting life. Aydee grows up at the reality-hopping Lost Pages, which seems to attract a clientele that is both eccentric and desperate. She is repeatedly drawn into an eternal war between enigmatic gods and monsters, until the day she is confronted by her worst nightmare: herself.

“Erotic, wise, comic, tragic... it’s involving fiction of the most intimate and passionate stripe!” — from the introduction by Paul Di Filippo
