dknippling 's review for:
The Necrophiliac
by Gabrielle Wittkop
The Lolita of dead people...?
I'm not sure how to take this one, although it clearly transcended itself, so I'll give it five stars. Beautifully written, even in translation, so vivid that you can't escape what you're reading. Mercifully short. Perversely funny.
I've read 120 Days of Sodom; that was trash compared to this. Read both books for the same gothic & macabre reading list.
Can't actually recommend this for anybody. Too pretty for the extremist horror crowd, too vivid and disgusting for the literary crowd. Hm...if you liked Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, you'll appreciate it, though.
