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.

Also, the narrating is SUPERB! No annoying breathing, the voices are Perfect, everything is flawless.
All in all, I have no complaints, save that it didn't go on for longer. I'm on my third listen now, and still as enraptured.
An absolute artist!

Lost Souls made me feel the universe within these pages were created for me.
Exquisite Corpse was the very next of Brite's I read.
This book is grotesque, you may find yourself thinking if they made a film of this would it be too much me to handle.
I liked and hated the fact that there was no good, bad, evil or angel, just need/want versus offering yourself even if it seems without choice, surrendering yourself to what is happening, because you can't change what's coming.
Dare I say this book in parts is erotic, I hope it was intended to be, how could it not be, given the descriptions presented to us?
There are so many parts that deal with hunger craving and need, addiction, physical and mental health.
I do wonder if liking this book just as much as I do makes me a bad person.
I could loop this to repeat, that's an option?

And the narrator, Joshua Saxon? He nailed it! They totally capture that slow-burn, menacing vibe of Brite's world. There's this perfect balance of intimacy and threat that just pulls you right into the characters' messed-up heads. It's chilling, for sure, but also strangely captivating. Honestly, the performance sticks with you long after you've finished listening.
This is extreme horror done right – disturbing and intense, but also beautifully written. Not many books can pull off that balance. If you're into stories that go all the way and a performance that makes every unsettling moment feel real, you HAVE to listen to this.
Basically, it's a modern cult classic, and this audiobook version is just bloody brilliant.
Bloody Brilliant!
