A collection of beautifully grotesque and sensually-charged illustrations inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, Anaïs Nin, and Henry Miller. Stirring.

This book contains sexuality without pandering, and eroticism that communicates ideas. Weird, sometimes disturbing ideas - but the kind that are compelling beyond their presentation through nude bodies. In other words, it's art, and it's as lovely as it is freaky.

I found the drawings quite boring. A nice past time while waiting at the dentist's or to talk to your personal banker. Kidding, with so many busybodies walking the Earth, just think of the children! The texts are even more dull.

Apollonia Saintclair instantly became one of my favorite artists to follow. The imagination and pure talent is something to behold. Amazing erotic and dark illustrations.
