Here's a collection of short stories and a novella which explore aspects of eroticism and violence in the modern world. Each spins a different tale, but each contains elements of sexuality or violence, and most contain a heavy dose of both.
From a rough-edged examination of greed, treasure, and murder in a small seaside village, to the slow decomposition of a human body as viewed through the lens of a camera, to a frightening tale of murderous prison escapees, to a teenager's unexpected sexual encounter on a crowded subway train, these stories are not for the kiddies. They are graphic in their sex and in their violence, designed to create a strong reaction in the mind of the reader.
Warren Bishop has proven himself a strong exponent of gritty pulp fiction expressed via graphic language, with an eye for human foibles and weaknesses. Erik Petrie has consistently demonstrated a stylish wit, unexpected plot twists, and clever use of language, along with a knack for character development and vivid imagery. Together, they bring to life a menagerie of characters caught in unusual circumstances; characters who deal with life's unexpected challenges and opportunities in different ways, and with different outcomes.
