James Dean's Scars

Dean had taken to hanging out at the Club, an East Hollywood leather bar. The predatory night prowler, who dug anonymous sex, had recently discovered the magic world of S and M. He had gotten into beating, boots, belts, and bondage scenes. Regulars at the Club tagged him with a singular moniker: the Human Ashtray. When stoned, he would bare his chest and beg for his masters to stub out their butts on it. After his fatal car crash, the coroner made note of the "constellation of kerotoid scars" on Jimmy's torso.
--Kenneth Anger, Hollywood Babylon II, 1984, page 135.
Note from Carl Miller Daniels: Google defines "keratoid" as "resembling horn; horny". I couldn't find the word "kerotoid" anywhere, so I'm guessing "kerotoid" is just a variation of the word "keratoid" or that it's a misspelling of "keratoid," which means "resembling horn; horny". I think it's kinda sad, and eerily funny, the double meanings of the word "horny" that are on display here in this description of James Dean's scars.
