About this listen

From the author of Lost Souls, Drawing Blood, and Wormwood comes a thrilling and chilling novel that best-selling 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.

The lives of 4 gay men intersect in this highly detailed story of Killers, AIDS, drugs, and lust. A well written tale that is very graphic and not for the faint of heart.

I am a fan of horror, gore and all but this left a little "basic" feeling for myself. nothing captived me. BUT I know that there are people who would enjoy it

meh - kinda gory

first chapter is perfect but it quickly turns it's attention to a homoerotic romantic novel with groin focused gore. I wish I didn't spent one credit in this thing. the narrator is amazing but man ,the story is bad.

homoerotic horror?
