| Abstract
|
:
|
Set in a university managed by a Kafkaesque bureaucracy, The Stone Ship follows the adventures, misalliances and misdeeds of the suicidal Shipton and the ghost who saved his life, and who demands a favour in return. In this fantastic work of fantasy and fairy tales turned sour and grown malevolent with age, the monsters have become less dangerous than the humans that feed them.
