Great Read

5 / 5
Tim Lucas has been editor and publisher of Video Watchdog for a long time. This novel, his first, shows his obsession with film as well as the horror genre. A surprising read - very out-of-the ordinary.
Ballard's _Crash_ with a different fetish focus
Rating:
5 / 5
_Throat Sprockets_ by Tim Lucas is the darkly
decadent and disturbing story of a man who
becomes obsessed by a movie which exhibits a
fixation with the female throat.
Perversely erotic, _Throat Sprockets_ chronicles
the man's increasing fascination about the film
and its subject matter while reminding us of our
society's often obsessive behavior in response to
images and ideas found in the media.
It's hip... it's cutting-edge... it's haunting...
it's J.G. Ballard's _Crash_ with a different
fetish focus. Highly recommended for those with
a taste for off-beat, alternative fiction.
