In *Castle for Rent*, John DeChancie imagines a castle that finds itself out of place—shifted into the future of New York City. The stone walls of Castle Perilous become a portal to thousands of alternate universes, each one more bizarre and bewildering than the last. Every doorway in this strange realm offers a different fantasy or perilous journey, challenging its inhabitants to find their way back. The story unfolds as the castle’s population is scattered across otherworldly realms while new, demon‑like beings occupy its once‑familiar halls.
