A Face Without a Heart

Rick R. Reed

Horror

A modern-day version of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Reed is able to produce a book that is brutally honest with its reader and doesn't flinch in the areas where Wilde had to look away... A rarity: a really well-done update that's as good as its source material.”  (Thomas Deja, Fangoria)

"Reed does himself, and his source material, proud... A penetrating morality tale, a trip into the very heart of darkness." (Hank Wagner, Hellnotes)

A young man bargains his soul away, while his painfully beautiful hologram mirrors every sin and each nightmarish step into depravity... even cold-blooded murder. Take a thought-provoking tour of the darkest sides of greed, lust, addiction, and violence. Named best novel of the year by QueerHorror.com.
