In a marsh out of time and space, Valtar and Sirwala, two improbable beings, are joined by an eternal love. In the Town of Mount Royal, in the sixties, Laura Fraser is a solitary teenager who's discovered affinities with H.P. Lovecraft, the famous writer of Providence, Rhode Island. And she manages to establish a short-lived contact with Valtar and Sirwala. Only half a century later, at the dawn of a new millennium, shortly after her retirement, Laura again comes in contact, against her will, with those strange beings that she always thought were a creation of her mind. But it is only when she accepts the magical reality of their existence that Laura will discover her own real destiny, which will be much more thrilling than the fantasies of her youth and the dreary conformism of her working life... La Rivière des morts (The River of the Dead) : a story like none you've ever read, a reality like none you've ever perceived. |
