The Black Tarantula (Kathy Acker).
 
TVRT: 1978.  Second edition. Paperback. Very good.
 
Second collected edition of what began as a six part serial, printed and distributed by Acker to friends. Surreal, semi-autobigraphical scorched Earth erotica, combining contemporary scenes and content from de Sade. 
 
"I've clearly demonstrated that I no longer need to work. Fire and steel surround my flaming head. Let the thrones of Europe crumble of themselves; your delight will send them flying without your having to meddle at all."
