From the acclaimed author of Lost Souls, Drawing Blood, and Wormwood comes the provocative and thrilling serial killer novel that #1 New York Times bestselling author Peter Straub calls "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 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 own 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 New Orleans's French Quarter, Poppy Z. Brite dissects the landscape of torture and invites us into the mind of a killer. With "intelligence, sweep, nerve, knowledge, and deeply unsettling erotic power" (Dennis Cooper, author of Frisk), Exquisite Corpse is a novel for those who dare trespass where the sacred and profane become one.

What in the Jeffrey Dahmer-
This book is disturbing, graphic and strangely poetic. It dives deep into obsession and violence, following two serial killers whose lives collide in the darkest ways possible. It‘s definitely an experience I wouldn‘t recommend to everyone, because it‘s a lot to stomach. That being said, if you want transgressive horror with a bunch of questionable characters and a haunting atmosphere (to say the least), this book is perfect for you. -

Never going to see Bleach the same.
Disturbing, bordering on pure horror porn. But still amazing! Mostly gore, still strong characters. Escaping prison in London, Serial Killer Andrew Compton makes his way to New Orleans' French Quarter and meets this killing soulmate. Focusing on a victim together. Not only gore, though: The story of the victim, his background, is an amazing show of being gay in New Orleans, the horror and fear of AIDS, and the tragedy in his friends' circle. Every single character in this book is disturbing and disturbed. And I really loved it and felt for most of them.
