Reader Review: This was a lot of fun. I appreciated the use of language -- the prim Victorian tone used throughout, even aside from the actual dialogue. The story itself was pretty routine (if werewolves and vampires can be said to be routine, which in today's fiction, they definitely can) but style ...

Reader Review: Oh, yes, this is exactly what you want and hope for from a Duncan. It has two of my favourite Duncanisms in spades: first, the trials or adventures of a youth, and second, the devious machinations of a monarch or other important personage. These are so typical of many of "his" works th...
