Back in print after some time, this new Author's Preferred Edition of The Pleasure Merchant features refreshed content, new introductory material and notes, and a new Matthew Revert cover!

When apprentice wig-maker Tom Dawne's greatest creation is used as part of a revenge scheme against a powerful gentleman, he is dismissed by his embarrassed master and forced to abandon his dreams of completing his training, setting up a shop of his own, and marrying his master's daughter. Determined to clear his name, Tom becomes the servant of the man he suspects set him up. Tom finds himself caught up in a web of ambition, deceit, mesmerism, sex, and power...and at its center, a man able to procure pleasure for anyone--for a price--and a woman whose past has been stolen.

From Molly Tanzer comes The Pleasure Merchant, a novel of despair and desire, equal parts psychological thriller and sensual parlor drama.

Industry Reviews

"Decadent and smart, artistic without being pretentious, and completely captivating from start to finish, Tanzer's The Pleasure Merchant is the very best sort of literature: a rare pleasure indeed. --Electric Literature

"Covering the course of a single year, this fascinating novel subverts Pygmalion, rags-to-riches and boy-meets-girl tropes to memorable effect, turning Tom into a tragic figure whose increasing rage against people on the margins of respectable society turns against him in the end. The narrative style is a delightful pastiche of Georgian and Victorian suffused with striking sensuality and modern sensibilities.... The voice of the Pleasure Merchant's apprentice will stay with you for days. --The Monitor
