{"product_id":"9781902588902","title":"Salome\/Under the Hill","description":"SALOME is an evocation of biblical horror in which blasphemies inflame an atmosphere that seethes with a dangerous erotic charge from the very outset. Relentless, hypnotic repetitions in the words, arranged in fugue cadences, lend the proceedings a masturbatory, oneiric quality: the tale unfolds with the inexorable acceleration of an orgasmic nightmare.\u003cp\u003eAubrey Beardsley's UNDER THE HILL, a short work commenced in 1894 but left unfinished at the time of Beardsley's premature demise, nonetheless achieves the quintessence of Decadence, an evocation of a synaesthetic pleasure dome to rival Huysmans' A Rebours. This, allied to its extraordinary catalogue of sexual perversions, makes it a unique and indispensable text for any who seek the uttermost extremes of the manifest imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis joint edition of SALOME and UNDER THE HILL, united by twenty of Beardsley's unsurpassable drawings, is a timely rehabilitation of these two all-too-often ignored fin-de-siècle texts, and constitutes a volume of unadulterated erotic decadence which stands at the pinnacle of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wet Angel Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060441563376,"sku":"9781902588902","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781902588902_p0.jpg?v=1763611988","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781902588902","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
