The Five Gates of Hell by Rupert Thomson
Moon Beach--place of the dead--where once a year the city observes the Day of the Dead. During one such celebration, two young men from different worlds become the fascinated servants of an entrepreneur of death, whose private passions are intimately entwined with his vocation. Ghoulish and imaginative . . . ingenious, sardonic and seductive.--New York Times Times Book Review.
