XY Michael Blumlein Dell Abyss Horror A PSYCHOSEXUAL THRILLER TEASE ME Frankie watched herself in the mirror as she danced in the strip joint -- it was the only way to get through her act.  But then the fat man came in the club, and the siren screamed, and Frankie's world shattered like a thousand shards of glass. TALK TO ME In the morning, she isn't Frankie anymore. She doesn't remember who she is. She knows for certain only one solid truth: that she is a man. As for Terry, her boyfriend, he cannot understand what his little sex object is trying to tell him..... PUNISH ME Frankie, trapped and livid, slowly learns to live as a captive in a woman's skin, and learns to rule over her poor lover. She makes him work for her. She makes him wait on her. She uses her stranger's body to torture him with his own desires. X,Y They are an ordinary couple in their private hell: A man and a woman in changed places; a man and a woman exploring all the cruelty and darkness and horror that once was hidden between a man and a woman.

I think he will have great impact on the horror field, but I don't think anybody is going to be able to imitate him."  --Peter Straub "Blindingly brilliant.....Blumlein is beyond any genre, a genuinely great writer." --Katherine Dunn, best-selling author of GEEK LOVE                                                                                 More to come.....
