Story
In the house on Violin Road he found the bodies of his brother, his mother, and the man who killed them both-his father. From the house on Violin Road, in Missing Mile, North Carolina, Trevor McGee ran for his sanity and his soul, after his famous cartoonist father had exploded inexplicably into murder and suicide. Now Trevor is back. In the company of a New Orleans computer hacker on the run from the law, Trevor has returned to face the ghosts that still live on Violin Road, to find the demons that drove his father to murder his family-and worse, to spare one of his sons. But as Trevor begins to draw his own cartoon strip, he loses himself in a haze of lines and art and thoughts of the past, the haunting begins. Trevor and his lover plunge into a cyber-maze of cartoons, ghosts, and terror that will lead either to understanding-true understanding-or to a blood-raining repetition of the past.

His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly.

Her obsession is with Edmund Cox, a man of sadistic cruelty who butchered more than 20 women. She’s gone so far as to forge a relationship with him, visiting him in prison and sending him letters on a regular basis. She will do anything to get close to him, so when he gives her a task, she eagerly accepts it. She has no idea of the horror that awaits her.

Story
Celeste Price is an eighth-grade English teacher in suburban Tampa. But Celeste's devotion lies elsewhere. She has a singular sexual obsession: 14-year-old boys. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress driven by pure motivation. She deceives everyone, and cares nothing for anyone or anything but her own pleasure. With crackling, rampantly unadulterated prose, Tampa is a grand, uncompromising, seriocomic examination of want and a scorching literary debut.

A Masterpiece

By: Stephen King
Publisher's Summary
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.

Twisted AF and fun too
what a deliciously different type of book to hear from one of my favorite narrators it is raunchy, it is foul, it has erotic bits, it has comedy bits, it has that wonderful soothing dulcet tones of Joshua Saxon and most of all, it is a well thought out intelligent little read of just about 8 hours of listening pleasure!
the story of two serial killers during the AIDS crisis is quite unique in its lovely twist and turns of words and verbiage.
i highly recommend this listen to it alone so you can laugh out loud at the naughty bits and the guilty pleasure that you receive from empathizing with the serial killer as so deliciously played and portrayed by the wonderful calming tones of Joshua Saxon!

Great book but not for weak stomachs
This book was beautifully written, yet pretty gruesome. Toward the end, I almost thought about stopping it but I obviously couldn't. I have started buying the hard copies of books I like and this one will definitely get a spot on my shelf! It's like gay meets horror and I very much enjoyed it.

Don’t listen to this book in the car with the windows down!
This is the first book I was embarrassed to be listening to. The descriptions of both body horror and homosexuality were very intense… I couldn’t bare the have anyone overhear me listening to this! That said, the descriptions alone made this book amazing! The plot is somewhat predictable, but did take a few surprise turns. Narrator was great! I usually listen on 1.5 speed and this worked fine for this narrator.

Delicately disgusting, sickening yet seductive
I'm a huge fan of the show 'Hannibal', have been since I first watched the film 'Red Dragon' (and subsequently gorged myself on all things Hannibal Lecter). I gotta say: this book is like an AU fanfic of that show.
I won't rehash the plot, but I will say, the book poses a fascinating character study. What would happen if two gay hedonist serial killers met up in a bar? The story builds to this inevitable encounter, paced perfectly with backstory and snippets of characters' lives before and after.
Mixed in with our dark characters are those of morally grey status, and one who might almost be considered 'innocent', if we ignore the fact he's a drug dealer. Surprisingly this couple is as compelling as the killers, almost acting as an opposing moral compass (though they, too, are twisted in other ways).
This is my first Poppy Z. Brite novel, and the first listening to Joshua Saxon. It's a match made in heaven (or hell, depending on perspective). When Saxon switched from an upper crust British accent to one more American, I thought another narrator had stepped in. The man has a way with words, regardless of who he's giving voice to, and he portrays every character superbly.
The book doesn't pull any punches. Gory, erotic, both at once; all sinful characters are portrayed as they are, without any moral condemnation one might expect. They're presented without justification or the usual baggage. What certainly was scoffed at in the mid-90s I find immensely refreshing in 2022.
Agree or disagree with the characters' actions all you wish, but one truth remains: you'll want to keep listening. I tend to listen to audiobooks on my nightly walks home from work and I've found myself slowing my step just to listen longer. I'm addicted to this story, and must hear how it all ends! Little over 2 hours left in the tale and I can honestly say I can't predict how it'll end.

I've read this book at least 6 times over the last 20 years and was delighted that an audio version was finally available. The writing is beautiful, grotesque, and like nothing else you'll ever hear - savour it just like Andrew savours his sandwich...

An absolute artist!
The author is a poet. I don't know of any other human who can so completely spellbind and mezmerise using only words like this.
if you're looking at this book, you hopefully know what you are in for. If not - take a chance!
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.

Twisted AF
A disturbing, violent, sick & twisted horror story of homosexuality, cannibalism, HIV & love in a twisted way. The only likeable character is Tran. But Jay, Andrew & Luke are intriguing & the interconnecting relationship that weaves them all together. The author has created a horrific beautiful story that will sicken you while keeping you on edge. Not for the faint of heart.
The narrator did an amazing job of bringing this story to life.

Lives up to the hype
Outside of Blood Meridian, this is one of the best narrated audio books that I have listened to. The way the narrator switches between the accents of characters was brilliant, and his annunciation and command of the English language is exceptional.
The above compliments Poppy Z. White’s story which is a wild ride to say the least. I read a lot of splatter punk and extreme horror pretty much exclusively, and given the age of this book, it really must have packed a punch back in the day when it came out. The descriptive writing is some of the best that I have come across: you can taste the blood, smell the open bodies and feel the knife plunge deep into the flesh as yours roam over the outstanding prose. I will definitely be looking out for more by Poppy as Exquisite Corpse firmly solidifies itself in my top ten nasties of all time.

Wow, what a ride this one is!
I have always loved Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite and I’ve read it more than once. This is the first time I have ever listened to the audio book. And I was sceptical at first, how can this book get any better? My god! Joshua Saxton really did this book justice and I was very impressed. Never boring, always beautiful and deeply disturbing. Read this book at your own risk as it will stay with you for life!

Amazing book, even better narration!
Loved this book. It kept me hooked. I gagged, gasped and even cried. So beautifully descriptive.
Also, I couldn’t believe one narrator performed the entire book. His accents were seamless!
