Book Description

BENEATH THE STREETS OF LONDON, DESIRE AND TERROR CARESS ...

On a quiet holiday in London, Dr. Tom Sutherland befriends the genial but mysterious Dr. Nordhagen and falls into a wild love affair with his assistant, the exotic Lina Ravachol. Bewitched by her sexual sorcery, Tom follows her into every fantasy and forbidden pleasure, deeper and deeper into a swirling vortex of erotic cruelty ... into the cellar-crypt of Nordhagen's laboratory, a secret chamber of living human horrors.

This new edition of Thomas Tessier's acclaimed Finishing Touches (1986) features a new introduction by Will Errickson and the original cover painting by Chris Moore.
