Peter Sotos, the writer who "rapes a blank page", whose pen is "the verbal knife of a sadist", unleashes Tick, his latest controversial dispatch from the cutting edge of pornography, sexual abuse and degradation.Drawing from his own experiences, insights and investigations, Sotos slices open the dark underbelly of the sex industry and reveals the harsh, gritty and brutal extremes that lurk within. From prostitution, pornography and drug abuse to the most notorious sex crimes, Sotos' obsession with the darker side of humanity is relentless and uncompromising.
Intersected throughout with documentary extracts reporting on and responding to sex crimes and related subjects, Tick not only presents an unsanitised account of pornographic excess and extreme sex, but through its frank delivery, it questions society's own, often hypocritical, fascination with these taboo subjects.
