Sobre IBD

Can things begin by cross species reproduction? Can a horse have such an influence on a woman and her consequent offspring? Can nature be violated in this way? A strange tale of a Centaur-like creature born of woman, living with pain and disadvantages, easing them with cheap sherry and poetry writing. When working days are done, life on a park bench takes form. The old being’s end comes with an even stranger creature, Princess Darnergy, who ushers in Vuk’s denouement.
