I am delighted to announce that my new novella, entitled BEAUTY AND THE LEAST, will soon be published by
Hopeless Books, the imprint of my friend and fellow author Ann Sterzinger.
Synopsis as follows:
BEAUTY AND THE LEAST by Andy Nowicki
"I am a dying man. I have consumed poison, which is killing me slowly, eating me away from within as surely as cancer. That poison is Beauty."
An unnamed, quietly unhinged cubicle-dwelling nobody nurses a fearfully intense desire for a lovely young girl. But the dizzyingly circuitous path leading to a surprising sedcuction is paved with dread, guilt, duplicity, and murderous rage.
In this potently erotic cautionary tale, which recalls Thomas Mann's DEATH IN VENICE and Soren Kierkegaard's SEDUCER'S DIARY, Andy Nowicki examines the nature and consequences of an all-consuming obsession.
Stay tuned for more details!
