FEVERISH ~ PROVOCATIVE ~ INTIMATE

A neon-lit portrait of danger and desire, unravelling and reinvention.

Jesse is a twenty-nine-year-old adrift in San Francisco’s demi-monde of sexually ambiguous, drug-taking outsiders, desperately trying to sustain a connection with her bisexual boyfriend. She becomes caretaker and confidante to Madame Pig, a grotesque, besotted recluse, and meets Madison – Pig’s daughter or lover or both – who leads Jesse into a world beyond all boundaries.

Suicide Blonde an intensely erotic, intoxicating story of one young woman’s sexual and psychological odyssey.

Publisher Review

Like so many naturals with a singular vision and an unyielding gift, Steinke wrote a perfect book nearly right out of the gate, one which both emanates from its time and will last the test of time — MAGGIE NELSON Hallucinatory, dystopian . . . a disturbing, poisonous fable of the dire consequences of derailed passion * * New York Times * * A provocative tour through the dark side * * Vanity Fair * * A book that feels neon-drenched, dirty, incredibly alive.

Incredibly vivid and captivating — SOPHIE MACKINTOSH * * NZ Herald * * A shocking and electrifying journey into the inferno of sexual obsession * * Details * *
