Exquisite corpse - Poppy Z. Brite

A convicted serial killer leaves his prison cell a dead man and rises again to build a new life. His journey takes him to New Orleans' French Quater- to the decadent bars and frivolous boys that haunt the luscious dark corners of a town brought up on Voodoo and the dark arts. Anticipating a willing victim he finds an equal, something he never expected even in his wildest dreams... Two men thrown together fate share dangerous desirea and a love that brings fear along with lust, and leaves a trail of blood from London to the USA.
