Moth

Young gay heroin addicts in Urbino Italy have enough problems but when one of their group connects with a golden stranger who shares a mysterious affliction a tale about everyday lives riddled with addiction turns into a brutally destructive narrative about sex as a compulsion coupled with sociopathological transformations. A novel both literary and evocative of the traditional horror or vampire genres Takedas Moth straddles the real and the surreal brilliantly making its own dark magic.
