Skin

Skin

Tess welds metal. Bibi molds flesh. Together, they make art that moves,<br />dances, burns, and bleeds, and the Surgeons of the Demolition become the<br />hottest ticket in town. But Bibi wants more, always more, no matter who gets<br />hurt. And Tess needs to burn, no matter what.<br /><br />Thirty years ago, SKIN changed the landscape of dark fiction forever. And now the girls are back in town.<br /><br />"A dark and frightening work by a major talent whose prose reads like a<br />collaboration between Clive Barker and William S. Burroughs. Highly<br />recommended." - Library Journal<br /><br />"[H]umorless novel about art punks in an unnamed present-day city...the<br />novel, like the art of the characters it portrays, is a sustained exercise<br />in style over substance." - Publishers Weekly<br /><br />"The language Koja employs is fresh and astonishing, harsh yet beautiful." -<br />Washington Post Book World<br /><br />"The biggest flaw in this novel is the writing. Koja often abandons grammar,<br />sentence structure, and, as a result, clarity. Many of her incomplete<br />sentences are simply unintelligible." - The Tech<br /><br />"Unexpectedly poignant ... Sentences as sharp and to the point as a scrotal<br />stud." - SPIN<br /><br />"[W]ill leave many fighting off its overload." - Kirkus Reviews<br /><br />"Not an easy read, but perversely beautiful." - Vector
