Skin FlickA Novel by Woody HautOut now! Free shipping in Dec.
The future looks bright for Billy and Cassie, star-crossed teenaged lovers in sunny Pasadena. When they witness a brutal killing committed by neighborhood pals, their lives darken and diverge. But they are far from through with each other. When Billie and Cassie reunite, it’s in the greed-is-good 1980s, when Reagan rules supreme. By then, their innocence is long-gone and love is a memory. Cassie hustles real estate. Billie descends to new depths. And the past comes back to haunt the present. Only Woody Haut, noir master, could tell a riveting tale that hits so hard and goes so low. |
“Skin Flick is a descent into a noir world we've rarely seen before. Reality touches the unreal and rubs off on the reader until all of us doubt who we really are. A deft high-wire performance by Woody Haut.”
– Jerome Charyn
“Woody Haut, an expert on noir fiction, has written a fast-paced, Goodis-esque novel in Skin Flick, the story of a classic noir patsy and the femme fatale who seals his fate. Edgy, taut, and cinematic, Skin Flick is the kind of novel best read with an unfiltered cigarette in your free hand and a bottle of bottom-shelf bourbon at your feet.”
– Jack O’Connell, author of Word Made Flesh and The Resurrectionist
“Skin Flick is a modern noir classic. I read it in two sittings. Would have finished it in one, were it not for the inconvenient fact that I had to go to work.
“One of my favorite reads of 2022.”
– Lynn Kostoff
