TTO magazine has just published this excerpt of “The Black Sex Magician of the Body Politic”, a chapter from The Sex Files section in Bizarre Thailand.
The story deals with Nen Aer, a novice monk who gained notoriety in 1995 for indulging in occult practices which included roasting the corpses of dead babies to create a powerful magic charm. But it also takes a closer look at how the darker side of mysticism permeates all echelons of Thai society.

Also, a big shout out to TTO editor Ben Hopkins for his excellent, original illustrations to accompany the extract.
Hello Jim
I enjoyed your book, having met and filmed some of the characters you wrote about while working at Capital TV in Bangkok.
I have a story that might interest you. Could you send me your email address and I’ll send it to you.
Best wishes,
Steve Rhodes.
