The Lazarus Heart
door Poppy Z. Brite
Bron: DarkEcho Review....Although less complex than her other novels, The Lazarus Heart, still has some interesting levels. It pokes at societal hypocrisy and offers some sociopolitical bite with a serial killer whose madness -- a paranoiac fear of the androgyne, the transgendered, the transsexual, and the homosexual, who he knows are Alien invaders spreading contagion -- is repellent, fascinating, and all too believable. The "good" guys here are gay/transgendered, artistic, slightly decadent denizens of that most decadent of U. S. cities, New Orleans. There's also a closeted gay cop who introduces an element of noir grit and tough guy angst to the mix....
