Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Sex and death, lyricism and brutality mingle in the story (not for the faint of heart) of a brain-eating reanimated corpse's love for a half-human, half-rat princess on a dying future earth. Duane Duarte and his virginal lover Princess Frenzetta, aka Frenzy, travel across continents doing violence to those who stand in their way (the decaying hero, for instance, punches a man so hard that his spinal chord ends up in Duane's fist, and the man's neck snaps "like wet hickory") as they seek passage to the moon, which was once used as a prison and is now rumored to be a sanctuary in Richard Calder's Frenzetta

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting concept, Dec 1 2003
By Max Metral "djmaxm" (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Overall definitely worth reading. I thought there was a little "thesaurus action" here, i.e. using larger words for the impact of the size rather than the story. The concepts of species diversity are fresh and interesting, although as a science guy I would've like some more exploration into that process and how it happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book of the Perverse, Jul 5 2003
Not for the faint of heart and weak of stomach, this is one of the best novels I had the pleasure to read this year. It's a book both wonderful and disturbing in its portrayal of sensuous exoticism and mind-numbing brutality, with Calder's baroque prose rarely, if ever, missing a beat.
