NOW FOR PRE-ORDER: UN CASO ASSAI BIZZARRO BY J. PHAEDRUS
Don Magnifico, Baron of Montefiascone, has drunk his stepdaughter’s inheritance and gambled away her dowry, treated her as his servant for twenty years, and now whether he likes it or not, Cenerentola—Angelina—is the Princess of Salerno. In a single strange day, a valet became a prince while a prince became a groom, a servant became a princess, a baron became a cellarman, and somehow true love won in the end. Goodness has triumphed, pride has fallen, and in the aftermath of all these strange reversals of fortune, everyone must put their lives back together. The princess might have forgiven her family their neglect, but the prince hasn’t: debts remain unpaid, apologies unmade, and questions unanswered. To win back any degree of respect, Don Magnifico will have to humble himself and accept the consequences of his actions. And despite that, Dandini the valet wants to marry the baron. Don Magnifico wants to marry the valet. Un caso assai bizzarro—a most bizarre case.

Based on La Cenerentola, Rossini's Cinderella opera, UN CASO ASSAI BIZZARRO is my first novel, illustrated by the incredible @insecateur and laid out (with hand lettering for the title!) by the inimitable @subvertebra. It's beefy, clocking in at over 300pgs and a whopping 24% smut by volume.
This thing has been a labor of love from its first nascent imaginings as a fic submission for Old Man Yaoi Zine vol. 2 (and you can read that original fic here!) to the final product. It comes complete in three acts with illustrations, an academic foreword, and some of the nichest opera jokes I've ever put to the page (keep an eye on those running headers in act 2...).
Pre-orders are available via form RIGHT NOW!!!, with full release coming in March.
