Chapter 2 of The Pervert Boy is not an easy read, but it is an essential one for anyone interested in fiction that refuses to look away from the darkest corners of the self. It is a slow, queasy, brilliant descent. The Pervert Boy Latest -Chapter 2- By Drema

The “perversion” is no longer the explicit act
