Skinless: The Story of a Female Survivor
Skinless is a dark, character-driven psychological crime novel set in New York City.
A singer blurs into a glittering alter ego to survive addiction, crime, and class‑power, under the lingering haunt of trauma in the shadows of 1999 New York City.
“Most of the book’s sentences vacillate between beauty and despair… Skinless is an eloquent crime novel about a woman’s relentless desire to survive.”— Benjamin Welton, Foreword Reviews
“Skinless strips away pretense and sacrifices comfort for vulnerability. For readers willing to inhabit a chaotic interior landscape, Skinless offers something rare: a portrait of survival that doesn’t sanitize the mess. Skinless is a raw, unforgettable journey.”— BookLife
