Making Love
by Melanie Tem and Nancy Holder
368 pages
"A novel of sex and horror," this book is not so much about the physical act of
"Making Love," but the unexplainable manner of "making people" to love--a man,
two girl toddlers, eight almost identical young boys... Once Charlotte Tobias
was a prim and severe schoolteacher, wielding her red pencil, writing to
imaginary lovers and hiding the letters in a closet. Then, on the night of her
fortiety birthday, Charlotte dreamed of love, and her life would never be the
same again. He came to her, her own creation, bold and dark, naked and rippling
with muscles. She named him Phanes. She gave him poetry and curiosity, and let
him make love to her in ways and places she could never have imagined. She let
him awaken her and change her and take her to the edge of her fantasies... But
now Charlotte is losing control of her perfect lover. Her creation is leading
her on a voyage through madness and anger and loss, revealing to Charlotte what
truths lie just beyond her consciousness, what horrors can grow in the absence
of a soul...
