“[Bomarzo] is a novel that will make any reader happy.... [A] novel to be read aloud, with the whole family gathered around.” —Roberto Bolaño A lavishly written gothic historical fantasy novel that centers around Pier Francesco Orsini, the tortured duke of Bomarzo and creator of the Italian town’s famously bizarre “Garden of the Monsters.” Forty miles north of Rome, near the village of Bomarzo, Pier Francesco Orsini created a park of monstrous statuary in which the nightmares of the Renaissance stand preserved in stone.
