Summary
The beginning of my series on the damned Orloff family, which also features into my story "The Curse of Orlac," published in Tales of the Shadowmen Vol. 14: Coup de Grace (Dec. 2017) from Black Coat Press. We begin in Czenora, at the head of the family tree, as Count Feodor Orloff flees across the tundra, and finds mysterious salvation. As this is a crossover story tying together several fictional universes, including some rather obscure ones, I've included notes identifying the references.
