“This is a masterpiece.” — The Guardian
“You shouldn’t pass up this opportunity to read a loving account of
a man who loves the dead as few others can or would.” — The City
Book Review
“The Necrophiliac is a disturbing little book about ephemeral
beauty and impossible love.… The beauty of the language coupled
with the disturbing subject matter makes for a bizarre, amoral and
elliptical journey of a demented individual.” — Telegraph
Journal
“[S]imultaneously beautiful and grotesque … Even now, nearly 40
years after its initial publication, it feels a bit taboo to read
it. Here at last, is a boundary that few dare cross, an element of

iterations already, and it’s been kept secret from me by the
barrier of language.” — Rue Morgue
“The thrills here are anything but cheap, and the pleasure the
reader derives is more cerebral than carnal.” — MAKE Journal
