Purchase options and add-ons

A masterpiece of direct yet elegant sexuality, In the Flesh has been hailed as one of the international erotic classics of our time, drawing comparisons to Lolita, Tropic of Cancer, The Story of O, and the writings of Anais Nin.

In the Flesh explores through poetic imagery the sexual encounters of a woman’s life as they flicker through her memories, back and forth in time from the first awakenings of puberty to the full-blown pleasures of her maturity. Hovering on the border between dream and reality, the narrator lingers over memories of early explorations with her brother, a schoolteacher, and friends, both male and female. The vibrant happiness of these memories contrasts with later darker thoughts, as the narrator concentrates on her secret relationship with her father. The atmosphere becomes volatile and dreamlike, the sexes interchanging in passionate confusion, blurring the line between memory and imagination. Unashamedly frank and lyrically surreal, In the Flesh stands as an artistic landmark of sensual expression.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The 15 stories of horror and dark suspense in Patridge's second collection (after Slippin' into Darkness, which won a 1993 Bram Stoker Award) abound with characters with peculiar wants and needs. In "Dead Celebs" and the title story, collectors of celebrity memorabilia indulge ghoulish passions that verge on necrophilia. In "Dead Man's Hand," a legendary gunslinger's quest to retrieve his severed shooting hand sends him on rampage of blood and black magic in the badlands of the Wild West. Partridge silhouettes the spiritual emptiness of his characters against eerie Southwestern backdrops cluttered with pop-culture artifacts from bygone days and haunted by the plaintive songs of Buddy Holly and Elvis. His fondness for the 1950s and its aura of lost innocence fuels three stories that deploy garish elements from B-movies to highlight the dark side of small-town life. Notwithstanding their echoes of noir fiction, these stories--two original, the rest reprints--showcase the author's ability to be inventively retro without seeming derivative.
