Praise for Skin
“A dark and frightening work by a major talent whose prose reads like a
collaboration between Clive Barker and William S. Burroughs. Highly
recommended.”
—Library Journal
“Torqued! Twisted, man, as the new Abyss line plunges forward with its plan to advance through the frontiers of psychological horror. Koja fulfills Abyss’s hopes with a savage hymn to industrial culture. … A strong stylist, Koja makes white-hot the pains of metal sculpting and draws a big picture of S&M bars and byways before bringing on her big show as Bibi decides to go all the way and, with razor and scalpel, just about get out of her skin—or help a friend out of his. Beyond the styptic pencil and safety blades.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“The language Koja employs is fresh and astonishing, harsh yet beautiful.”
—Washington Post Book World
