Sinopse

Lady Luna & the Taduki Drug is fantasy trilogy featuring Allan Quatermain, an English-born professional big game hunter and occasional trader living in South Africa.
"The Ivory Child" – While Quatermain visits Lord Ragnall, he receives a visit from Harut and Marut, priests and doctors of the White Kendah People who  come to ask him for help. The White Kendah people are at war with the Black Kendah people who have an evil spirit for a god. Quatermain must return to Africa and destroy this evil spirit before it kills every one of the White Kendah People. In the meanwhile, Harut and Marut present Lady Ragnall the taduki drug that induces visions of previous incarnations. These visions create special connection between Allan and Lady Ragnall.
"The Ancient Allan" concerns one of Allan Quatermain past lives. Allan and Lady Ragnall inhale taduki, a drug that induces visions of previous incarnations. Thus, Quartermain relives the experiences of ancient Egyptian aristocrat Shabaka (a descendant of the pharaoh of the same name)—alongside flashes of his earlier lives—and Luna those of Amada, an ancient priestess of Isis.
"Allan and the Ice-gods" – Allan feels awkward toward Lady Luna Ragnall after their recent taduki-induced vision in The Ancient Allan, in which they were nearly married, and he refuses three invitations from her to return for another vision and has vowed never to use the drug again. Few weeks later Allan has a psychic experience and later learns that Lady Ragnall had died of heart failure in the Temple of Isis. Allan inherits her estate and distributes it to charities except for a box containing the taduki drug which Lady Ragnall had left him. Captain John Good shows up and persuades Allan to use the drug and the two enter into their vision.

    The World Fantasy Award Finalist: “It’s Clive Barker crossed with Tanith Lee set to a Siouxsie and the Banshees beat, and I loved every second of it.” —Gemma Files, Shirley Jackson Award–winning author of Experimental Film Welcome to a world of monsters, ghosts, and witches, both seductive and terrifying. In the first collection of short fiction from the author of the Necromancer Chronicles, reality shifts and shimmers with potent magic. More than twenty works, including two poems, feature characters who will steal your heart just as easily as your soul. In “Wrack,” a fisherman becomes so enchanted by a mermaid that the call of the waves becomes impossible to resist. When a killer comes to “Dogtown,” he learns that his bark isn’t worse than the bites of the locals. A dying artist returns to Ireland, where the faerie she has always loved tempts her with eternal life, as long as she leaves her humanity on the shore like so much “Flotsam.” And in “Smoke & Mirrors,” the circus comes to a town strangely bereft of ghosts, thanks to a demonic being conducting a train to the netherworld. With prose that is “gently pulling, promising beautifully cold oblivion in smothering darkness,” Amanda Downum transports you to sweltering southern swamps and the labyrinthine streets of Old World cities, proving without a doubt that “she’s one of the very best dark fantastical writers working today” (Bracken MacLeod, author of Closing Costs). “Ethereal, atmospheric, and mysterious.” —Elizabeth Bear, Hugo Award–winning author of Machine “These stories range from the melancholic to the downright chilling, and deftly evoke both the truly strange and the very human.” —Liz Bourke, author and reviewer for Tor.com and Locus
