description: Humanity's defining characteristic is not our opposable thumbs but our voyeurism. It's the licentious, spying urge, which prompts us to peer through parted curtains and cracked doors, eager for a glimpse of skin or sin. Peep shows were born of that vice and thrived. Peep shows, the absinthe of the sex trades-alluring, misleading and deliciously, delightfully toxic. When Joely runs off to San Francisco to become a stripper, she doesn't realize that she's entered a dark and depraved world where nothing is as it seems. Plagued by violent fantasies, she undergoes a disastrous psychic surgery that results in her assault and the breakdown of all her careful constructs. After her boyfriend disappears and her girlfriend is murdered, Joely must struggle to get a grip on reality and grow beyond the carnal desires of her flesh even while mired in them.A contemporary novel set in San Francisco, "Flesh Hell" is an urban fantasy novel detailing the edgy subculture of sex workers. This is a darkly comic and erotic world in flux, shifting precariously away from reality as dragons battle angels and ghosts take up residence with hallucinatory dancers. "Flesh Hell" hits the literary G-spot and leaves you breathless.
