E Pluribus Unicorn

You are about to enter fantastic worlds beyond your wildest imaginings--worlds of mystery and monster, terror and ethereal love, sudden death and miraculous life, jet-propelled shivers and humor.

On this incredible, awesome journey you will meet:
• a strange, yet exquisitely beautiful and profoundly wise, race of...what?
• a blood-sucking Teddy Bear which bestows on a four-year-old a terrifying memory of the future.
• Bianca, a deformed imbecile whose hands, hauntingly beautiful and with a consciousness of their own, drive a man made with love and desire and ultimately fulfill a gruesome wish.
• young Leo, who learns that his entire existence has been dreamed by someone else
• virgins and unicorns who contest the meaning of truth.
