And then he met Alexandar, who began to tutor Martin in increasingly violent sex and in love.Pervatory is a series of journal entries about Martin and Alexandars relationship.

His untimely death in October 2020 was a tremendous loss to the queer and literary communities. This novel is what he left for us.Pervatory is RM Vaughan's perverse Valentine to Berlin. It is sexy, funny, often elegant, and a fitting elegiac punctuation mark to his incredible body of work. Given the way he left us, it is as devastating as it is exhilarating. journalist and Lambda Awardwinning author Matthew HaysRM Vaughan was a promiscuous pansy, a louche moralist, a lonely heart, but most importantly, he was a writer, an irritating, idiosyncratic, incisive writer.
