"I was the man at the beach. I have a name, and it is not God." Simon is a narcissist and a very dangerous man. Enter his world, where reality and everyone in it serve his grim fantasies. But in the bushland lurks a woman who suspects lost vulnerability at his heart. And another, less beautiful, whose violent loathing for him will never be silenced. Written as a youthful love-tribute to the city and its surrounds, novelette Only Skin is BP Gregory's second published work and includes disquieting (adult) themes.
