The two stories “Wood from the Ruins” and “The Garden of Earthly Delights” are creatively now part of NOCTURNES: Heaven & Hell …each of the stories are holding on to each other fearing the author will abandon them…if they don’t get on with their telling… They are integrated into that larger work NOCTURNES as … a salvation of sorts from the graveyard of characters the writer had turned to in Gardens in Winter and returns to in “Hotel des Drolleries: Suites 1-8.”
