1.0 out of 5 stars not what I thought it was....
Seems this one, by Manning, is obsessed with crossdressers/TV themes. The art isn't as good as others, the stories shorter. Wasn't to happy with this one in general. If you're not into boys dressed as girls taking it um.... .... ... run and hide....

4.0 out of 5 stars A Collection of Manning shorts, February 18, 2001
This review is from: Cathexis (Paperback)
Cathexis is collection of Manning's work that had previously been self published from 1987 to 1992. It contains short features, poetry and a few individual sketches. Some of the longer pieces include:

Red Time - a short story about a young man, Gehenna, who is possessed by hallucinations caused by a seemingly harmless metal box Stunner - a tales of lesbian domination Circes House - the feminization of a young man Brahma - a woman can't stay away from a genetically modified dog left in her care Vague Terrain - a sexual encounter where everyone has a different orientation

This book is executed in Manning's heavy, black line illustration that is very reminiscent of Japanese wood cuts. His story lines are either very simple (straight sex) or very convoluted (SF mixed with SM). I prefer his longer works (Spider Garden or Hydrophybian), which allow the plot to develop more meaningfully.

Overall, both the illustration and writing style are uniquely Manning. If you are not offended by the pan sexual or bestiality themes, these books are extremely interesting
