With the exception of the lone female photograph, this exploration of the male body is lush, disturbing, and strangely alluring. The unnatural color saturation both draws the eye to the disturbing sexuality of the photos and repels any thought of humanity. Many of the images are monsterous. These are normal, beautiful men reduced to disjointed, inhuman parts. The words by Clive Barker serve as comment on the dark landscape of flesh, but neither add nor subtract from the images. Brilliant work and well worth the time.

If you want to see male penises and hot bodies, this aint a book for you. But if you want to see fashion, weird, exotic, imaginative poses and great creative work, then most def get this. If you like the movie: "The Cell" with JayLo then you will love this book. The quality and top notch photography technique is masterful. its a Rare Book for rare taste. Move on if you afraid of something novel and strange...

Its a bit of a shame that the book is listed under Mr. Barker's name and not the photographer as the imagery is just stunning! His technique and style is simply amazing and would love to see more from this artist! Barker's words only enhance the photos. I love this book and it's a must have for anyone that takes pleasure in the male nude form.
