Title: Avoid this one at all costs
Product review: What is with Poppy Z. Brite? I read "Lost Souls" years ago and loved it... it's joined my shelf my very favorites. However, it seems that Brite is on a downward spiral. Where "Lost Souls" was origional, quirky, and eerie, this book is just gross. Do we really need detailed descriptions of a child being tortured? Book after book, Brite continues to obsess over gay men (always disfuntional ones, of course) and either leave women out completely or cast them in the most degrading roles. Perhaps she should just give us the pretense of being a real writer and switch to writing gay porn.
