The Red Labyrinth — Ben Peek

The Red Labyrinth is the story of the anarchist Zoja Rose. Presented to the reader as a speech given by Zoja's most infamous disciple, the prostitute Illanana, The Red Labyrinth tells of the violent histories of the Red King and the Black Queen, the twisted maze they lived in, and the cruel, tattooed monks who oversaw their rule. Written by the critically acclaimed author Ben Peek, this dark fantasy brings his stylistic resourcefulness to bare in a compelling vortex of a short novel that is at once an existential journey, a harrowing exploration of the abuse of power, and a violent call to arms.
