This is a horrible book. It chronicles the life and times of four gay men with AIDS and two of them necrophiliacs.

The book stars with Andrew Compton - convicted serial killer of young boys - who escapes from jail and travels to New Orleans. Andrew likes to kill these young boys and then f*** their corpses for days. YUK! From the back cover, the book seems to be about him and at some point Jay Byrnes. However, the book starts with Andrew and then morphs into a tell all story about 3 other gay men with AIDS.

Jay Byrnes - a serial killer of young boys. Jay uses his photography skills to entice boys back to his place. Jay doesn't want to have sex with them, oh no, he likes to kill them and have sex with their internal organs. Double YUK!

And don't forget Lucas Ransom, underground radio personality with very advanced AIDS. Oh and suicidal to boot. But he doesn't want to go alone, he wants to take Tran with him by injecting his diseased blood into Tran.

And of course we have to have Tran Vinh, a vietnamese kid who loves Luke but who knows Luke will be the death of him so he goes to Jay instead.

This is utter crap and I can't believe I actually read the whole thing. I must be nuts too!
