Summary: The power of male beauty
Review: This review coincides with my thoughts on this brilliant book. It was published in the MANSTUFF column of Mandate Magazine's February, 2003 issue. Thanks for letting me replicate it here:Blood Moon tells the story of Buck Brooke III, a liberal journalist who swings both ways in the bedroom. Trouble begins when he postpones a photo shoot for a major magazine that just named him "sexiest man alive." He has dinner with Rose Philipps, an avangelist known for her right-wing politics and fire-and-brimstone preaching style. Preacher Philipps has a stunningly attractive gay son, Shelley, and together they unite into an aggressive couple competing for the same male prizes. We're taken on a journey through sexual neuroses, corrupt politics, sanctimonious religion, murder, and steamy sex. When the book was first published, one reviewer raved, "If you ever thought that sex, psychosis, right-wing religion, and violence aren't linked, think again--and read this spellbinder." Another critic wrote, "Blood Moon is dazzlingly and jarringly original, an erotic thriller from a gifted Southern voice. It reads like an IMAX spectacle about the power of male beauty, with red-hot icons, a breathless climax, and erotica akin to Anais Nin on Viagra with a bump of meth." I LOVED this novel. It's unique in the spectrum of erotic male fiction, with edgy neuroses and jarring political and cultural associations that explode all over the landscape. And at a stocking-stuffer price of less than $[money] a copy, it's hard to go wrong.....I really think you should buy a copy of this book.
