Fiction. Erotica. Gay & Lesbian Studies. Mapped out on a playing field of ticklish male flesh, MY NAME IS RAND follows a young man on his search for the ultimate erotic adventure. Betrayed by his own skin into a helplessly eroticized state, he becomes a captive of a bizarre torture camp where men practice extreme tickling. After several near-death experiences he stumbles across a hiding place where several desperate men plot escape while taking physical solace in each other. Sweatily detailed in its depiction of men driven over the edge, this nightmarish novel is a bondage epic, a horror comic, and a totally original speculation on the nature of time and consciousness.

Review:

"I can't remember when I've been so disturbed and turned on at the same time." -- Marshall Moore, author The Concrete Sky and Black Shapes in a Darkened Room

"My Name Is Rand does for wriggling, unrelenting, tickling fingers what The Texas Chainsaw Massacre did for chainsaws." -- Ian Philips, author of Satyriasis and See Dick Deconstruct

"One of the scariest and weirdest stories I've read in a long time, a tragicomic tour de force." -- Patrick Califia, author of Mortal Companion and Hard Men

I can't remember when I've been so disturbed and turned on at the same time. If a writer has ever more successfully put Eros and Thanatos in the sixty-nine position than Wayne Courtois, I want to know who it is. --Marshall Moore, author The Concrete Sky and Black Shapes in a Darkened Room

My Name Is Rand does for wriggling, unrelenting, tickling fingers what The Texas Chainsaw Massacre did for chainsaws. I will never venture alone into the heartland of America again. --Ian Philips, author of Satyriasis and See Dick Deconstruct

The well-spoken and utterly demented Wayne Courtois has written a strange and fascinating book about one of the most popular erotic power games: tickling. Say the name of that fetish to a BDSM aficionado who has no experience with it, and they'll sneer. Why, it's practically vanilla, they might tell you. They couldn't be more wrong. My Name Is Rand takes the reader on a confusing, realistic, and wrenching trip that can be savored by anyone who has fantasies about bondage, forced sex, domination, pain, imprisonment, or torture. This is one of the scariest and weirdest porn stories I've read in a long time, a tragicomic tour de force. Read it and weeplaugh your guts out. --Patrick Califia, author of Mortal Companion and Hard Men
