Dermaphoria - Hardcover
Awakening in jail with no memory of how or why he is there, Eric Ashworth remembers only the name of a woman named Desiree, but after being bailed out, he seeks refuge in a seedy motel where he discovers the solution to his amnesia lies in a bizarre new hallucinogen that synthesizes the sense of touch.

Rare Book
Review:
‘What makes this worth reading is Craig Clevenger’s extraordinary prose: the pleasure of text is everything.’ Guardian
‘What makes the book so unique, so compulsively readable, is Clevenger’s ability to make complex images seem so unforced.’ Independent on Sunday
‘A brilliant satire.’ Sainsbury’s Magazine
‘It’s dizzying stuff...no wonder Chuck Palahniuk is singing his praises on the back cover.’ Metro
Praise for ‘The Contortionist’s Handbook’:
‘A dazzling and highly original debut novel which instantly establishes its author as one of the most interesting writers to emerge in years. This book deserves to be massive and I think it will be.’ Irvine Welsh
‘Craig Clevenger has crafted an unforgettable antihero in John Dolan Vincent. This is an extraordinary debut.’ Richard Kelly, director of ‘Donnie Darko’
‘What sticks out about this remarkable debut are its pitch-perfect shock ending and John Vincent himself – his complex, conflicting mind, original voice and unnervingly self-defeating existence.’ Time Out
‘What sticks out about this remarkable debut are its pitch-perfect shock ending and John Vincent himself – his complex, conflicting mind, original voice and unnervingly self-defeating existence.’ Time Out
‘Clevenger’s talent is revealed in his ability to create a true testament to the resilience of the human spirit.’ USA Today
‘Immaculately detailed and emotionally explosive: this is rolling, riveting stuff’ Kirkus Reviews (starred)

From the pristine dust jacket: "Eric Ashworth awakens in jail, unable to remember how he got there or why. His only memory is a woman's name: Desiree. Bailed out and holed up in a low-rent motel, Eric finds the solution to his amnesia in a strange new hallucinogen. By synthesizing the sense of touch, the drug produces a disjointed series of sensations that slowly allow Eric to remember his former life as a clandestine chemist. With steadily increasing doses, Eric reassembles his past at the expense of his grip on the present, and his distinction between truth and fantasy crumbles as his paranoia grows in tandem with his tolerance." . Signed by the Author (signature only). First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo. (vi), 218pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Seller Inventory # 021742
