Tim W. Burke grew up within a mile of the most notorious U.S. prisons. His humor has appeared in major U.S. newspapers and on U.S. broadcast television. His horror has appeared in "Weird Tales" and "Space and Time" magazines and in several anthologies. "In THE FLESH SUTRA Tim W. Burke has charted a diabolical, metaphysical odyssey for his main characters, a journey that will take you through Death itself... and back out the other side."-- Shawn Garrett, Pseudopod"In this excellent novel, the writing is crisp, the characters sharply drawn, the plot engrossing; as a result, this tightly written and propulsive narrative addresses postmodern angst about humanity and spirituality in the context of body horror and psychosexual transcendence with literary flair and at times deeply disturbing imagery."-- Jason V Brock"Seeds of body horror and jealousy, avarice and desperation all wrapped in fin de siecle city life and the trappings of the Spiritualist movement. This is a beautiful, precision time piece of unease and tension and Tim winds it all the way up, smiling at you as he does so."-- Alasdair Stuart, Host of www.pseudopod.org, the weekly horror fiction podcast
