Synopsis: From the front flap of the first edition: "Seven of the following stories revolve around Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's immortal creation, the Count Saint-Germain. Give of them were collected as The Saint-Germain Chronicles in 1985, while "Advocates" - which was written in collaboration with Suzy Mckee Charnas appeared in the H.W.A. (Horror Writers of America) Inc. anthology, Under the Fang. In contrast "A Question of Patronage" is presented here for the first time.. "Salome" was written for an anthology based on the work of Ray Bradbury, while "Investigating Jericho" is an affectionate satire inspired by the novel Salem's Lot - wherein Stephen King contended that a remote New England town could vanish without anyone noticing. However... Gahan Wilson's delightful introduction, and appendices which include an essay, a chronology, and a bibliography complete this volume."
