Are You Loathsome Tonight?
About this book
Poppy Z. Brite, an acclaimed horror fan favorite, is known for going to the edge and back—and this collection of stories, many set against the backdrop of the author's native New Orleans, explores the outermost regions of murder, sex, death, and religion. Featuring titles such as "In Vermis Veritas," "Entertaining Mr. Orton," and "Mussolini and the Axeman's Jazz," as well as collaborations with Christa Faust and David Ferguson, this volume also offers notes on each story by the author, an introduction by #1 NewYork Times–bestselling author Peter Straub, and an afterword by Caitlín R. Kiernan. Are You Loathsome Tonight? is an edgy, gruesome tour of "the darkness at the heart of things [with] a number of superb stories, powerful in style and characters" (Locus).
