“This is a masterpiece.” — The Guardian

“The Necrophiliac is a disturbing little book about ephemeral beauty and impossible love. . . . The beauty of the language coupled with the disturbing subject matter makes for a bizarre, amoral and elliptical journey of a demented individual.” — Telegraph Journal

“The thrills here are anything but cheap, and the pleasure the reader derives is more cerebral than carnal." — MAKE Journal

“You shouldn’t pass up this opportunity to read a loving account of a man who loves the dead as few others can or would.” — The City Book Review

“[S]imultaneously beautiful and grotesque . . . Even now, nearly 40 years after its initial publication, it feels a bit taboo to read it. Here at last, is a boundary that few dare cross, an element of the macabre that has not been played out in a thousand similar iterations already, and it’s been kept secret from me by the barrier of language.” — Rue Morgue
