Satanskin

SATANSKIN is the collection of "graveyard erotica" first published in 1992, twenty stories promising "sex magick, lunar mutiny, excremental demonolatry, in utero lycanthropy, sadomasochistic vampirism, oneiric post-mortem malediction, and other bizarre manias". In Devil's Gold, a transsexual pact with faecal demons leads to unbounded metamorphoses; a maniac with White Meat Fever steals female anatomy to usurp the moon; skinless nuns with Shadow Sickness fall prey to a priapic scavenger from Hell; a hapless traveller enters the Tongue Cathedral and finds himself inside a vampire's wet-dream; in The Venus Eye, an angel wreaks retribution on a paedophiliac butcher from within her coffin. A remarkable collection of stories. The writing is black as hell, by turns violently obscene, repulsive, bizarre. No taboo goes unchallenged, no horror unexplored. ( Outlook) This collection contains the original text of 'Raism', Havoc's first published anti-novel. A philosophy steeped in blood and insanity, a pact with Hell at its core. Black magic, sex magic, homicidal misanthropy, and unbridled decadent lusts fuelled Gilles de Rais on his journey into the Mediaeval heart of darkness.
