The Skin Palace Summary

The Skin Palace by Jack O'Connell

A harrowing and ecstatic descent into a breathtaking netherworld aswirl with the real, the imagined and the absolutely unforgettable. Amid the post industrial decay of Quinsigamond glitters a fabulous jewel - Herzog's Erotic Palace - America's most lavish porn theatre and a gangland laundry for semi-sour cash. But most of all, Herzog's is the place where dreamers meet and seductive nightmares find their dazzling realisation. For the obsessed grunge auteur, the heartsick crime king, the apocalyptic tele-evangelist and the young woman intent on a capturing a shrouded past and an onrushing future within a camera's lens, The Skin Palace will reveal all secrets, in a script fraught with danger and feverish transformation.

The Skin Palace Reviews

One of the best novels about film I have come across, a tortuous and tortured tale about Quinsigamond's surviving cinema -- Maxim Jakubowski * Guardian *
Mesmerizing...light-years away from your garden-variety thriller. The Skin Palace may remind you of Blade Runner or the novels of William Gibson, but O'Connell has his own dazzling tale to tell...Wickedly clever * Seattle Times *
It's a measure of O'Connell's immense talent that, while creating his absolutely original and hyperbolic world, he also paints a striking vision of the haunting ways in which life and art mirror each other * Publishers Weekly *
the sheer chutzpah of his enterprise sweeps you in -- Michael Carlson * Crime Time *
as original and microscopically etched as a thumbprint * Kirkus Reviews *
