“The Devil You Know” ––Amazon Synopsis:
“THE DEVIL YOU KNOW is a sold-out limited edition of Poppy Z. Brite's third short story collection. Within these pages, Poppy finds fresh ways of exploring territory both familiar and strange. Here youll meet the Devil and his giant cat last seen in the pages of Bulgakov, the gourmand coroner of New Orleans, the mad-genius chef who cant stand to have his cheese list criticized, and an assortment of Crescent City characters who also appear in Brites novels Liquor and Prime. Poppy Z. Brite has found a way of writing about New Orleans that bypasses the clichés and approaches the citys true heart: the hard-working, hard-partying cooks; the ways in which race, class, and sexual orientation do and dont matter; the love of bottom feeders, be they crustaceans or politicos; the million little juxtapositions of sacred and profane, bizarre and mundane, sublime and ridiculous that make up the everyday life of New Orleans. Some of these stories are set elsewhere, but Brite always returns home in the end.”d.”

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home. In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.
Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear. Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others. Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you. Every book with a dust jacket has been carefully placed in a BroDart protective archival cover. All sales are final.
