Salome is an evocation of biblical horror in which blasphemies abound More than this, its atmosphere seethes with a dangerous erotic charge from the very outset Relentless, hypnotic repetitions in the words, arranged in fugue candences, the tale unfolds with the inexorable acceleration of an orgasmic nightmare
Aubrey Beardsley s Under the Hill, a short work commenced in 1894, but left unfinished at the time of Beardsley s premature demise, nonetheless achieves the quintessence of Decadence, an evocation of a synaesthetic pleasure dome A unique and indispensable text for any who seek the uttermost extremes of the manifest imagination.
