Entering Fire by Rikki Ducornet
"Entering Fire" is a dark, surreal exploration of the human psyche, set against the backdrop of 19th-century France. The story follows the life of a man obsessed with the bizarre and grotesque, as he delves into the world of sexual obsession, madness, and the grotesque. His journey takes him from the underbelly of Paris to the exotic landscapes of North Africa, as he seeks to understand the nature of desire and the limits of the human mind. The narrative is rich with historical detail and vivid, dreamlike imagery, creating a world that is at once fascinating and deeply disturbing.
