In a quiet house on a quiet street Frank and Julia are having an affair. Not your ordinary affair. For Frank it began with his own insatiable sexual appetite, a mysterious lacquered box- and then an unhinged voyage through a netherworld of imaginable pleasures and unimaginable horror… Now Frank - or what is left of Frank - waits in an empty room. All he wants is to live as he was before. All Julia can do is bring him her unfulfilled passions… and a little flesh and blood…

About time I read the book, I guess. It's hard to not see the movie characters even though a few things (notably the ending) are changed, but I love how matter-of-fact Barker is about his gore. At no point does the narration even question that there's a line from pain to pleasure and back. The Swedish translation is... passable, I guess?
