Skinless—Literary Psychological Suspense: NYC, 1999
Street poetry. Beauty. Danger. Survival.
Lower East Side, NYC, 1999–2001. Fresh from teenage homelessness and abuse, Charmay—velvet‑voiced, street‑tough—sings to find the self she lost. Struggling to survive the PTSD she calls “Skinless”—and alcohol’s grip—she invents a glittering alter ego, Cindy. As hustles collide and masks switch places, past and present blur: a mercurial producer, a hustler‑lover, and a Wall Street financier each claws her raw, pulling her toward a different self. When the curtain falls, her choice is stark: wear the mask that kept her alive—or sing in her honest voice and walk into the unknown. Razor‑taut literary psychological suspense—a portrait of a woman fighting to heal. For readers of The Bell Jar, Just Kids, and literary noir.
“Raw, poetic, fearless. Voice cuts to the bone.” —Goodreads, 5★
