The Keys to D'Espérance

The Keys to D'Espérance was published as a limited edition chapbook in October 1998 by The Subterranean Press, with an introduction by Peter Crowther. The edition was limited to 250 signed/numbered copies priced $10, and 26 lettered/numbered hardcover copies priced $30 (which sold out rapidly).

Chaz classes The Keys to D'Espérance as something of an oddity. It's a 9000 word novella which he intended to be the first in a series of stories that would look at the history of Britain this century, from a fairly askance angle and via the medium of a very strange house indeed - D'Espérance.

Chaz believes that The Keys to D'Espérance is one of the best pieces he has written.
