h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Swamp Foetus and Drawing Blood are fine novels, but Exquisite Corpse is a work that hangs together better as a story and revolves around the relationship between two serial killers from opposite sides of the Atlantic. Perhaps the novel's strongest point is the wonderful way in which Brite is able to describe the killers passion for the cadavers of his deceased victims, her poetic style marries perfectly with the fascination that she finds in the intimate details of the vicsera of the human body. Also interesting is the further exploration that the author makes of her central figures and the relationship that the world at large has with their lifestyle choices, the frank issues addressed by the pirate radio DJ in regards to his sexulaity and status as a HIV positive man are particularly interesting. Lost Souls is still her best work in terms of style, but there are stories in the new collection titled "Self-Made Man" that move her main focus on from both the Big Easy and the licks, and they're well worth seeking out.

P.S. She also edits the collections of erotic vampire short fiction titled "Love in Vein" which has yet to be published in the UK.

Oh, and she wrote Courtney Love's biography too.
