Publisher's Synopsis
Would you mutilate mankind for love? That is the question of "The Flesh Sutra." In Fin de siecle Boston, the mystic healer Alecsandri Keresh lays in the passionate embrace of his lover Mrs. Olivia Spaulding, when he is shot dead. Enraged, he forces his way back to life through ghastly means. He becomes an abomination. All for love. Olivia is terrified of death. Alecsandri dreads abandonment. Seeing one another as soul mates, they resolve to atone for their sins by helping humanity. But their jealousies mar their works, often with hideous results. And a spirit stalks them. One that grows more powerful at every turn. Will the lovers succeed and transform mankind? Or will their weaknesses twist humanity into abominations? Therein lies the answer to "The Flesh Sutra."
