Can /lit/ help me find a book?
I picked it up at a used bookstore out of the free bin years ago, it wasn't that great but I loved it. I remember it had a very green, busy cover with two masks.

The story was generally about a man who could in his sleep or a trance state travel to another world/dimension sort of thing, and was trying to help this hunted woman who had to wear her sisters' faces as masks because it was all she had. He was married and they were both some sort of researcher, so they tried to sort this out using scientific methods. There was a lot of drama after he had sex with the woman he was trying to help in her world, and I remember parts where her sisters were killed by being burned over fires inside giant metal bulls.

This is all I have and I have exhausted my google-fu. Anyone read this? I've seen a lot of copies of it over time, but I lost mine at school when I was around 14, and always meant to buy it again and never did. Now my husband wants to read it and I can't remember the name.

Thanks for any help, and I know this is kinda trashy writing we're talking about, but it stuck with me when I was a kid and it's something I'd like to share.
