Although the show has been canceled, I know in the hearts of all the fans, the show lives on. I hope this fanzine honors it's [sic] memory. For many of us, the love for Beauty and the Beast will never die.

Reactions and Reviews
This rambling Classic novel by a very beginning writer wanders between past and present tense (and we don't mean flashbacks) and the prose style is very halting and uncertain.In it, Vincent becomes ill and is tended by Catherine, then Catherine moves Below after introducing Joe to Vincent. V/C are married; then Catherine becomes ill. After that, she's pregnant, and goes to Connecticut..alone (except for Mary and various friends)...to rest. Vincent finally arrives anyhow, due to a prescient vision, as she goes into labor. Everything turns out all right in the end.
In a subplot, there's romance for Jamie and Joe. There are a couple of V/C sexual interludes - one, quite graphic. But they aren't dwelt on.
The cover art portraits of Vincent and Catherine by W.P. Arteno, a pro artist, are extremely handsome.[2]
