"Set in the depths of the Civil War in P.T. Barnum's American Museum, "The Well-Dressed Wound" is a fashion show by the dead for the living. Invited to attend a staged spiritualistic rite, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln are horrified to find that the medium conducting them has summoned another being: the Devil, disguised as twentieth-century Belgian fashion designer Martin Margiela (aka "King Faggot"). What follows is the most fiendish runway show ever mounted, complete with war dead, deconstructed couture, and gay ghosts infected with all manner of infectious agents, including oozy AIDS." -- back cover.
