	Poppy Z. Brite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poppy Z. Brite (born Melissa Ann Brite on May 25, 1967) is an American author born in New Orleans.
		During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Brite at first opted to stay at home, but she eventually relocated 80 miles away to her mother's home in Mississippi.

	Review: EXQUISITE CORPSE by Poppy Z. Brite
		Brite, Poppy Z. Simon and Schuster, 240 pp.
		Brite may well lose fans this time, her superbly composed arias on the most disgusting forms of death and sloshy decay being likely to turn off many admirers of her previous torchlit searches through the caverns of hell.
		Brite's first horror novel, LOST SOULS (1992), a high- intensity rock'n'roll epic about southern white trash vampires, gained much of its energy from parody and her over-the-top bloodlust.

	Poppy Z. Brite: A Retrospective
		Brite here adds her usual emphasis on descriptive passages (in fact, one could say her prose is decadently descriptive) to the Crow series, yet morph her style enough to give readers the comic book-like action they are familiar with in the series.
		Brite has also proven her mastery of the short fiction format, as she has produced several excellent short story collections, including Wormwood, which includes the short story that inspired Lost Souls, and Are You Loathsome Tonight.
		The vampires in Brite's novel are born rather than made, and eat their way out of their mother's womb and discover their lust for blood around puberty.

	Barnes & Noble.com - The Devil You Know - Poppy Z. Brite - Paperback
		Poppy Z. Brite has been known to state (sometimes nearly militantly) that she is NOT a horror writer, that she no longer has any interest in writing horror fiction.
		Anyone who's ever read anything by Poppy Z. Brite knows that she's a sorceress of words, mesmerizing her readers with language, drawing them into her dark webs of storytelling.
		Brite, a well-known figure in horror fiction, has been focused on New Orleans as of late, and this collection is one result of her exploration of the city beyond its stereotypes.

	Poppy Z Brite UK
		In this interview Poppy Z Brite talks about her early influences, her identification with outcasts, the psychology and possible meaning behind many of her obsessions, and the delight of peeing on her husband.
		PZB: I can't see her in one of my novels, which is one of the main reasons I chose her as a subject: to make myself explore a very strong female character in a way I'd never done in fiction.
		PZB: Lucrece is actually not as symbolic as she might seem because she's strongly based on a friend of mine, who is in fact a male to female transsexual.

	Making Light: Remarkable folly
		On the Poppy Z Brite front, I highly recommend her forthcoming novel, Liquor, which is a very readable, funny novel about two young chefs trying to make a go of things in the restaurant business in New Orleans.
		Well, just going by what Poppy Z. Brite wrote about what happened, I'd say she was rude and deserved to be banned.
		Poppy Z. Brite may simply have overloaded their quotient of "tolerance for people showing up out of nowhere to criticise".

	Poppy Z. Brite, The Devil You Know
		This collection of short stories by popular horror author Poppy Z. Brite, written over the course of four years, spans a wide variety of styles -- none of which are the real hard-core vampire-gore-death tales that made her (relatively) famous.
		The Dr. Brite character is so enjoyable -- such a strange combination of Quincy and Julia Child, with a pinch of Axl Rose thrown in -- that she overshadows the rest of the cast a bit.
		Here, Brite gives us her take on this dilemma in the case of a young boy, killed in a tragic accident.

	Brite, Poppy Z. in general - Printed Books Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		The introduction to Poppy Z Brite's book Self Made Man contains a quote from Rainer Maria Rilke that goes "For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure." This, to me, is key to her fiction.
		Having read all of the Poppy Z Brite books on the recommendation of reviews as "highly original work" i have to say i was in fact highly disappointed.
		Poppy Z Brite combines shocking subject matter with a lush delicate style.

	disinformation poppy z. brite: iron chef
		Counterculture diva Poppy Z. Brite sold her first story when she was 18 and spent the next decade or so writing some of the most elegant and heartbreaking novels the horror genre has seen.
		PZB: As I said in my foreword to the new edition, I mostly feel it's a souvenir of a person I'll never be, or even much want to visit with, again; still I'm glad it is there.
		PZB: If anything, when Liquor began being shopped to U.S. publishers, it ran into problems that were the opposite of Exquisite Corpse--that is, it wasn't extreme enough.

	Poppy Z. Brite, Lost Souls
		Lost Souls is a graphic, intense, sexy novel by the High Priestess of weird horror, Poppy Z. Brite.
		Brite has created a world where no one is quite what they seem, and everyone has something to learn about themselves and their loves.

		Brite creates a convincing, evocative atmosphere in which youthful alienation meets gothic horror, but her prose sometimes turns purplish (for example, both sperm and the liqueur Chartreuse are likened to altars).

	Poppy Z. Brite Liquor Reviewed by Serena Trowbrige
		I must admit, I didn't expect to much like Liquor, Poppy Z. Brite's seventh novel (and the first of hers that I've read), but I'm happy to say I was wrong.
		Although Brite made her name with horror, she has worked in restaurants herself and is married to a chef, and clearly sees the possibilities of the enclosed and private world inhabited by people in the restaurant business.
		The novel centers on two cooks, G-man and Rickey, who have featured in other works by Brite.

	Poppy Z. Brite, Liquor
		Poppy Z. Brite, Liquor (Three Rivers Press, 2004)
		Brite's lush horror prose style, in which every noun has an adjective, every kiss has a flavor, and every place has an entire perfumery of smells, is discarded here in favor of an omniscient voice which is crisp, witty, and casual in the way that can only be achieved with great care and skill.
		Brite concentrates on the fascinating business of cooking and running a restaurant, on the kitchen camaraderie and the New Orleans restaurant scene, and on the sweetly companionable relationship between G-Man and Rickey.

		Brite also seems poor in her characterizations of women (Eddy is superficially delineated though key to the denouement).
		The shock-horror elements and psylocibin trip are well done however and Poppy Z is in clearly in her element here.

	Blogcritics.org: Book Review: Lost Souls, by Poppy Z. Brite
		While Poppy Z. Brite is popular enough that I finally bought the novel to see what she could do with a full-length tale, (I'd read some short stories in anthologies and liked her style), I feel her writing is good enough that the audience should expand far beyond what it seems to be.
		I also have confirmed for myself that I'm a fan of Poppy Z. Brite and will be seeking out more of her work in the future.
		The plot is multi-layered and in another writer's hands might have been terribly difficult to follow - Poppy Z. Brite weaves each strand of story into a beautifully symmetrical braid by the end - nothing ever feels tossed in as a late fix, there are no veiled 'deus ex machina' moments.

		So I picked up a Poppy Z. Brite and read a few pages, but I did not like the style, nor the storyline.
		You may not like her books, and you certainly have that right, but I must say that it is in very poor taste to call yourself Poppy Sucks, post one time, and attack her writing skills in what can only be charitably called gibberish.
		It's funny, I feel almost defensive when I speak about Poppy, as if I've known her all my life, and we've only been acquaintances for about 5 years.

		The novel is pretty interesting as it is, but when you know what Poppy Z. Brite is capable of at her best, you can't help but dreaming of what it might have been.
		The Lazarus Heart may not be the best introduction to the world of Poppy Z. Brite, yet it could be a digest of her recurrent themes and obsessions.
		When Brite describes the twins' childhood in a few pages, it feels like some old and touching fairy tale ("Benjamin and Lucas DuBois were born in Pike County, Mississippi, in a town so small and ugly it was usually left off the maps").
