About this listen

Romance is dead...

Beautiful but impoverished Lina Dahlstrom is dying of tuberculosis and it seems that no one can save her. All hope is lost until an eccentric doctor, Carl Dance, becomes enthralled with Lina's charms and vows to do everything in his power to cure her. But when the illness inevitably claims Lina's life, Dance's obsession with her only grows and so begins a mad and criminal scheme to bring her back from beyond the grave and claim her as his own forever.

Set in Stockholm in 1930 and based on true events, Exquisite Corpse is a story about the madness and horror of a romance that knows no bounds.

Critic reviews

‘With unflinching boldness, Pericic moves her readers through an abuse of power so extreme, so grotesque, it is elevated to the level of allegory. Historical fiction for a post #metoo world, Exquisite Corpse gets to the bone-tingling core of why consent matters, and always has.' PIP SMITH, author of Half Wild

The inevitable death, the unrelible, feverish, prurient Dr of Chemistry, outraged ghost and vindicated first wife were deftly performed. I loved the story

Great story
