Normally there’s nothing I love more than Poppy Z. Brite, but this was a bit much even for me. Not as well written as a lot of his other works and definitely quite unfocused and bizarre (sex with the cat man really threw me for a loop). Some of them are pretty good though: “Saved”, “Self-Made Man” and “Entertaining Mr. Orton” were probably my favourites. Not his best work, but still good enough

This collection featured a short about Ghost and Steve. I read it just for that and loved it even though it was way too short and I could happily read an entire novel dedicated to the awesome whimsy that is Ghost.
