Right. Guy is super pretty. Other guy makes him worry about *not* being prety, and firstguy sells his soul to the devil for eternal youth. Cue long slide into debauchery and existential angst, with a lot of suggestions that he’s banging his best friend who’s in love with him. And again, opium.

Depressing hugely *over* poetic book that teaches the lesson that even the greatest pleasures looks and money can give you will only make you a shell of a human being.

Summary: Pretty guys, opium, sex, , gay sex, opium, angst, flowery text, sad ending, the Devil, Unrequited love, opium, and Humans Suck.

So. Damn. Emo. We can only *dream* of such epic, epic Emo.

Oh, my sweet Baron, I disagree! Your torchsong of torture will come, I bumure you. We all will have ours, just stick close to me, you’ll see eventually.
