Girl with Ears & Demon with Limp is set in the same world as Twilight of the Wolves, but it’s more action oriented and focused on a single event. It’s also intended for a YA audience. It’s about a young girl who is kidnapped and thrown into a surreal castle that expands endlessly. Within the castle, she meets a lame insane man, and together they try to escape the castle and return to the light of the world beyond. Along the way they fight demons and the structure of the castle itself.
Blurbs:
Girl With Ears & Demon With Limp is a fast-paced, surreal rendition of a Medieval tapestry. Set within an infinite castle, from which a young wolven girl and an insane man wish to escape, it’s Kafka turned inside out. And like Kafka, these characters are seeking to make meaning for themselves in a world where meaning has vacated for other lands.
–-Christopher Barzak, author of Before & Afterlives
edward j rathke has given us a fable bright with language, an adventure story, a coming-through-pain endurance test – but most of all, a lovely and touching tale about the place two forgotten outcasts make for themselves in the world.
