Book excerpt: Laura Nye is a book dealer and former sex worker who finds herself being pulled back into sex work by money issues—and a girl named Holly Oakes, a professional S&M provider with a secret. Holly knows something about a suspicious death at a commercial dungeon where she worked. Laura’s search for a book once owned by a celebrated Beat writer leads her to the Lude Collection—vintage porno mags, fetish art, and a small cache of Beat-related materials, including the book in question. The latter contains a note pointing to the completed manuscript of a fragmentary gothic poem by a famous nineteenth-century poet. When Laura begins her quest for this lost manuscript, though, she discovers others are pursuing it too. As Laura gets closer to the truth about the manuscript and Holly’s secret, parallels arise between the novel’s narrative and the manuscript’s cryptic tale. The Lude Collection alternates between book trade and flesh trade as Laura is drawn deeper into the hard-core world of pay-for-play fetish.
