Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. NEW UK HARDBACK w. SLIPCASE. SIGNED by RICHARD CALDAR & K. J. BISHOP [NO Inscription]. LIMITED Ed. #40/200. DJ in Clear, ARCHIVAL MYLAR WRAP. NO remainder mark. Synopsis: Whitechapel, London. 1888. Madeleine Fell is dreaming of Babylon. Not the Victorian Bab…ylon of London, but a second, Mesopotamian Babylon that exists in a parallel dimension, a world populated and ruled by Ishtar's sacred prostitutes that has of late gained ascendancy over our own. In Whitechapel, Jack the Ripper is murdering Babylonian whores. And off-world, on Babylon itself, the men of the Black Order plot revolution - by instituting a ruthless program of gendercide. Unbeknown to her disapproving parents, Madeleine enters the Babylonian novitiate, her heart set upon travelling to the exotic, parallel world of her dreams, fearful, yet at the same time strangely excited, by the intimation that her demon lover awaits. When Madeleine's parents discover what she has done, she escapes to Babylon with the help of her irrepressible friend and fellow novice, Cliticia. As the two adventuresses journey through a landscape of magnificently bizarre ruins towards the consummation of their amour fou and a concomitant disillusionment, they begin to understand that Babylon the Great, like London, is as much a city of the mind as a set of co-ordinates on a transdimensional map, and that they owe the Black Order, and even Jack the Ripper himself, a debt of complicity. | SHIPS AIRMAIL INTERNATIONALLY.
