Castle of the Beast

This fantasy novel is the fable of "Beauty and the Beast" told from the Beast's point of view. Solitary V tries to find ways to fill up the endless days in the deteriorating castle in the all-but-impassable magic-haunted woods which, collectively, are his heritage from his sorceress mother. Soon, a lost merchant arrives, V loses his temper, and you-know-who comes to keep the pledge in her father's place.

Ann R. Brown was a prolific writer and the CRLL owns several of her zines, most notably Sleepless in Providence. Her stories appear in several anthologies.
