Description Toward Books Dermaphoria

Bailed out of jail and holed up in a low-rent motel, amnesiac Eric Ashworth's only memory is a woman's name: Desiree. With steadily increasing doses of a strange new hallucinogen, Eric finds that the drug allows him to reassemble his past in broken fragments. But as he begins to lose touch with the present, his distinction between truth and fantasy begins to crumble, creating a world where divisions between love and loss, violence and tenderness, and fact and fiction are less discernible than they ought to be.

Notice Out Of Books Dermaphoria

Ok

Ok, where do i start? Well, this story feels upside down. The writing is crazy like the main character. It feels like a movie more than a novel, the scenes are described vividly. The craziness in the novel comes from Eric the main character, who starts the story with memory loss, and in trial for creating drugs. He seemed to be a very good chemist for his drugs left the city needing more. His memory loss came from being brain dead for eight minutes after overdosing which rendered him in the

Craig Clevenger is a brilliant writer, and I'm quite excited to read a great follow-up to "The Contortionist's Handbook". "Dermaphoria" just wasn't that "great follow-up"; a fellow reviewer remarked that this book was a classic example of "the sophomore slump", and I'd have to agree."Dermaphoria" doesn't break any new ground; it's almost a carbon copy of "Contortionist's..". The protagonist in this one is an intelligent chemist who creates a Wonderdrug called "Derma" and gets high on his own

I loved CC's first book but I found this hard work. Not far off Naked Lunch in its intense, stream of consciousness narrative and not in a good way.

Dermaphoria feels like a fevered, abstract nightmare. It is gritty, wholly paranoid, and inescapable. Author Craig Clevenger proves himself a master of prose. His words conjure an experience rather than a story, each returning memory of Ashworth overwhelming the senses like few books can. There is no putting it down.

Quite a fragmented narrative, which is intentional due to the main characters memory loss, but still makes for a difficuly read at times.The story is a little familiar, maybe even cliched, the guy who can't remember what he's done, and finds out it's worse than he thinks. Some good bits but a lot of jarring moments. Every time it gets going (and it gets in a cool groove quite often) it suddenly cuts back to some nonsensical 'drugs make you think weird thoughts' schtick.The paranoia and bits

His second book, such rich sensations, a powerful, riveting story, and the questioning of reality abounds. A fantastic read.
