The story is set in London in 1997 and centres around Mahvand Amirzadeh, a young gay comics artist of Iranian descent. Mahvand first meets Belial (aka Jean-Baptiste), a dealer and collector of conceptual art, at a literary soiree in the East End. A relationship develops between the pair, they engage in sex magick practices and a Faustian-like pact is forged. Mahvand reinvents himself as a conceptual artist but how far will he go in his quest to become a celebrity on Londons conceptual art scene? A satire on the art scene, the darker reaches of dating and a compelling love story. Devilishly good fun. Julia Bell, author of The Dark Light.
