![]() ![]() In the years since its first publication in 1988, Crocodilia has become a cult classic, and for this new edition the author has expanded and developed the novel further, presenting it now – for the first time – as it was always intended. Set in London’s East End in 1982, Philip Ridley’s novel is a masterwork of gay fiction with a glittering, labyrinthine narrative and a firework display of images – a house full of crocodiles, Elvis Presley in a gold Cadillac, a cinema bathed in green neon – not to mention sex scenes of such dizzying eroticism that they take the breath away. ![]() A strange, fantastic story that begins to obsess Dominic more and more, until he finds himself wondering where that story ends. ![]() But when Billy mentions a previous lover, Dominic demands to know all about him. And judging from their smouldering first encounter, Billy seems to feel the same way. When eighteen-year-old Dominic meets his new neighbour, the sexy, green-haired, tattooed punk Billy Crow, it’s lust at first sight. ![]()
