The majority of today’s men and women live in boring circumstances, and when the opportunity for change arises, they are often quick to seize the chance. For the characters in SHE LICKED THE LANDLORD, the opportunity is one which many would consider perverse and deranged. But it provides a release and a need. All morals and scruples are cast aside in a moment of madness — a chance to grab pleasure before it is taken away.
SHE LICKED THE LANDLORD — a novel about the quiet desperation in so many of us — and the extremes to which it may drive us.
“Oh, shit,” Crystal Norris muttered. She knew damned well that it was the landlord who had just knocked on her apartment door.
And she knew what he wanted, too. The girl had sneaked out early to get the morning newspaper and now she was back in bed, scanning the classified section. She was looking for another apartment but first she had to find a job, since she had no money at all to pay the rent or even make a deposit.
She couldn’t have paid the rent in this dump, either — if she hadn’t came to an arrangement with the landlord.
And she knew he had come to collect.
Al Gunderson, the landlord — or slumlord, as Crystal thought of him — stopped by every single day. And it seemed to the girl that, although no dollars were involved, she was paying a very steep rent, indeed.
