Brutal Uncut is a startling a terrifying book in many ways. It s a report from hell, a telegraphic account of a life inconceivable to most of us. It takes big risks artistically and brings them off because of the unfailing authenticity of the voice. Somewhere deep inside its harrowing pages is an unexpected quality: innocence. It takes you all the way down the vertiginous tunnels of the story. It is moving and upsetting and absolutely real. --Simon Callow

Adult film superstar Aiden Shaw follows up his bestselling memoir, My Undoing, with a no-holds-barred look at sexual excess. Out of control on drink and drugs, Paul seeks out men who will abuse him.
