Overview

Alchemists may have failed to distill youth, but Josephine is determined to bottle beauty. Josephine is determined to make her fortune, but in early 1900s Canada as w widow under suspicion of murder, her dream of building a cosmetic empire seems like a fantasy. That is until a wealthy young socialite enters her shop, her presence reigniting long-caged desires and memories of Josephine's first love. As their unassuming relationship turns into a seductive power struggle, and the cosmetic application takes a dangerous turn, will Josephine choose companionship or capital? Billed as NATURAL BEAUTY meets DELIVER ME meets PERFUME: STORY OF A MURDERER, and containing three illustrations by Becca Snow, this novella follows Josephine as she plays the gruesome game of LOVE, CAPITALISM, AND BEAUTY

""Kinky, creepy, clever, queer: this erotic gothic novella is everything my little horror-craving heart could desire!"" -Johanna van Veen, author of My Darling Dreadful Thing and Blood on Her Tongue ""Sink your teeth into strange flesh with Shelley Lavigne's Enamoured: A Triptych, a wickedly queer triple feature that blurs the line between the grotesque and the erotic until the reader no longer knows which is which. Perverse in the best possible way, this novella is a deliciously depraved descent into debauchery, body horror, and all-consuming desire. Readers of Eric LaRocca and Carmen Maria Machado will rejoice!"" -Elliot Gish, author of Grey Dog ""Enamoured is a sapphic tour de force that explores taboos, power dynamics, beauty standards, and the space between passion and obsession. Breathtakingly beautiful and compulsively readable, the lush prose and erotic scenes will have your cheeks blushing darker than Mlle. Corallie's Love Match Rouge."" -Emma E. Murray, author of Crushing Snails ""Sink your teeth into strange flesh with Shelley Lavigne's Enamoured: A Triptych, a wickedly queer triple feature that blurs the line between the grotesque and the erotic until the reader no longer knows which is which.

Readers of Eric LaRocca and Carmen Maria Machado will rejoice!"" -Elliott Gish, author of Grey Dog Shelley Lavigne's Enamoured: A Tryptich is a sapphic fever dream that winds its way through obsession, transformation, and deadly allure. The prose is lush, every sentence drips with atmosphere, conjuring a world where femininity is both weapon and wound. Lavigne refuses to reduce their characters to victim or villain; instead, they allow each of them to inhabit the complicated, often contradictory space between. A haunting, heady read. -Jolie Toomajan, editor of Aseptic and Faintly Sadistic
