Ferragosto

£125.00

Randy Klein

Signed, numbered limited edition of 110.

This story is inspired by ancient history and by a holiday that the author took with some friends.

Debbie at Neo's
Of that holiday the author writes he 'had a personal mythology about visiting a particular abandoned monastery in the hills every Ferragosto ....This idea led me to imagine a world where all the normal rules are relaxed, and thus the mythological beasts under the surface are released.'

So Randy Klein takes aspects of the ancient celebrations of Ferragosto (more about Ferragosto in the 'review' section) and a holiday with his friends to weave these into a modern day account of a group of holidaymakers who meet in a bar and then travel up into the hills of Liguria in Italy, to an ancient, abandoned monastery. They eat meat and herbs and, for one night, are transformed under the light of a full moon.
