CAB Comment––“Exquisite Corpse” is a modern classic of the hardcore horror genre and is certainly not for everyone.  But if you are serious about your dark literature, this one will take you into deep graphic extremes of morbid psycho-sexuality that you won’t soon forget.  I once heard Clive Barker say, at a Learning Annex course in Hollywood, that the Marquis de Sade had nothing on Poppy Z. Brite and her novel “Exquisite Corpse”.  In other words: Are you in, or are you out?

“Exquisite Corpse”––Amazon Synopsis:
“‘From the author of Lost Souls, Drawing Blood, and Wormwood comes a thrilling and chilling novel that bestselling author Peter Straub says serves as a “guidebook to hell.’  To serial slayer Andrew Compton, murder is an art, the most intimate art. After feigning his own death to escape from prison, Compton makes his way to the United States with the sole ambition of bringing his “art” to new heights. Tortured by his own perverse desires, and drawn to possess and destroy young boys, Compton inadvertently joins forces with Jay Byrne, a dissolute playboy who has pushed his “art” to limits even Compton hadn’t previously imagined.  Together, Compton and Byrne set their sights on an exquisite young Vietnamese-American runaway, Tran, whom they deem to be the perfect victim.  Swiftly moving from the grimy streets of London’s Piccadilly Circus to the decadence of the New Orleans French Quarter, Poppy Z. Brite dissects the landscape of torture and invites us into the mind of a killer. ‘Exquisite Corpse’ confirms Brite as a writer who defies categorization. It is a novel for those who dare trespass where the sacred and profane become one.”

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home.  In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.

Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear.  Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others.  Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you.  Every book with a dust jacket has been carefully placed in a BroDart protective archival cover.  All sales are final.
