Orkhan is released from a lifetime's captivity in the Cage of the Imperial Harem and finds himself hailed by the Harem's concubines as their new Sultan. But flowers of evil flourish in a bed of boredom and, in this novel of erotic fantasy, Orkhan, who entertains the fantasy that he is indeed the master of his women, enters a maze of perverse relationships masterminded by the devotees of the Prayer-Cushion movement. Temptation, seduction, story-telling and magic are used to lure the Sultan towards a climax which is designed to be simultaneously ecstatic and fatal. Featuring as it does sex with men, women, fairies and alligators, this strange little book will delight necrophiliacs, masochists, transvestites, eunuchs, ironists and lovers of beauty and ugliness everywhere.
