Items related to The Tattoo Hunter
The Tattoo Hunter is a powerful account of the dark side of sexuality and its effects on human consciousness. Written in an exciting poetic style, this story of curiosity and seduction takes us from the very origins of the Cretan labyrinth to the labyrinth drawn on the soft skin of its most intriguing chartacter, the Countess, in a desperate hunt for meaning. The elegant prose and provocative atmosphere immerse us in a world of velvet, Goth women, and red wine spilled on naked bodies, as we follow the steps of this unique, intellectual hunter.
