The Frozen City is a novel by David Arscott and David J. Marl published in 1984.

Plot summary

The Frozen City is a novel in which a city is under a cruel regime, with movement restricted by mazelike streets.[1]

Reception

Dave Langford reviewed The Frozen City for White Dwarf #62, and stated that "Not particularly new or astonishing in itself, this gains freshness and force from the allegorical presentation. A modest success. Fantasy's so hidebound that it's still a novelty for authors to suggest that even a benign dictatorship, or monarchy, may not be a good thing."[1]
