Sexual Blood

by Mark Amerika

Sexual Blood is a wild, cybersexual trip through the dark side of America's media-manipulated consciousness. In Sexual Blood, Amerika tracks the bohemian life of his main character, Mal, an alternative rock musician whose strange encounter with the Medicine Woman causes him to hallucinate a fantasy land populated by all of his former lovers. Mal, hoping to repent for all the emotional damage he's caused in the past, seeks a magic transfusion that will turn him into a compassionate human this is when he enters the realm of the Sexual Blood. Charged with a sensual language not seen since Henry Miller, Amerika's alchemical mix of grunge rockers, riot girls, reality hackers, expatriates and guerrilla artists opens up an erotic world lost in a theater of cruelty.

ok so the sci-fi-ish bits like e.g. the narrator turning into a sperm justify the acker connection but good lord is there some startlingly bad sex writing here that i don't think i could get out of my head with clorox & brillo. "moist love jungle," indeed

A book I learned of through the web site Alternative X, to which the main contributor is Mark Amerika. I had problems following the flow of this one. Sometimes it just seemed like drug-induced, sexual-fantasy, flow of consciousness - vagina worship à la Carlos Castenada. It was my second time reading it, and I don't think repetition helped.
