DESCRIPTION:
Brass tackles a number of contemporary themes in his compelling tale of dark arts, among them Chelsea Boy attitude, sexual idealization, class divisions, and - most particularly - the mysterious world of high finance, all of which he addresses with brash opinion. And, to the annals of gay lit, add a most unusual hero - a shy, self-effacing, everyday bank clerk with a really small cock, so small it shames him. So when his wee member mesmerizes the well-muscled, well-moneyed man he meets at the baths, one Destry Powers, he can't believe his luck - or anticipate his fate. Poetry, self-help, science ficti
Warlock, A Novel of Possession:Allen Barrow, a shy bank clerk, dresses out of discount stores and has a small penis that embarrasses him. Powars's dark powers? These are the mysteries that Allen will uncover in Warlock, a novel that is as paralyzing in its suspense as it is voluptuously erotic.. From generations of impoverished drifters, Powars has been chosen to learn a secret language based on force, deception, and nerve. But who chose him-and what does he really want from Allen? What are Mr. Destry lives in a closed, moneyed world that Allen can only glimpse through the smoky windows of popular media and tabloids. One night at a noisy, popular bathhouse in Manhattan he meets Destry Powars-commanding, vulgar, seductive, successful-who pulls Allen into his orbit and won't let go
Erotic and suspenseful Warlock, like many of this author's other works, embraces the spirituality of gay romance through a deftly balanced amalgam of erotica and fantastical themes. Though not as exotic as Angel Lust or as adventurous and fast-paced as Harvest, this particular book is crafted on the premise that horror works best on a subtle, psychological level.

Confusing �til the end This book was not what I was expecting. Or maybe it was, and I just don't know it yet. From the beginning, I just couldn't grasp what was happening in the story. The main character, Allen, is basically a frustrated gay man with a very poor opinion of himself, apparently centered around his small endowment. He is picked up by Destry Powars, a big hairy brute at a bath house who's rough look, vulgarity, and belittlement of Allen just make me wonder "Why?" Allen follows him home basically because he "couldn't say no." Ends up going on a trip with Destry to Switzerland where some pretty wild thing. Sexy and Mysterious mojosmom Allen Barrow is a bank clerk. He leads a quiet, ordinary life, with quiet, ordinary friends. In his mind, his most distinguishing characteristics are his tiny penis and his difficulty getting hard. And then one night at the baths, he meets Destry Powars. Destry doesn't mind Allen's shortcomings, and Allen performs much better with Destry, who carries him off to a spectacular apartment.The book here becomes a bit reminiscent of John Preston's Mr. Benson, without the S/M. Wealthy, dominating older man whisks younger guy out of his humdrum life into a world of power and privilege. Only in this ca
