Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Groundbreaking Writer Cecilia Tan Delves Deep into the world of dark fantasy in a powerful collection that combines noir erotica at its most potent with startling sensuality to shatter the physical and emotional boundaries of sex. These stories, some never before published, range in style and texture from the warmth of magical realism to disturbing modern Gothic, showcasing a rich and varied exploration of sex in worlds that might be earthly, to the tales of the human fantasies and magical dreams to which we all succumb. From the critically acclaimed, otherworldly Pearl Diver, in which erotic ritual brings a young girl into womanhood and connects her to her earthly ancestors, to The Game, an intense story of erotic bonding through dominance and submission in a world where criminals are made second-class citizens until their "debt" to society is repaid, all of Tan's stories celebrate the body and sex, revealing the positive emotions behind even the darkest of desires.

"Cecilia Tan trancends time, space, gravity, and cultural norms in her line of work: erotic science fiction". — San Francisco Weekly

These stories, some never before published, range in style and texture from the warmth of magical realism to disturbing modern gothic — showcasing a rich and varied exploration of sex in worlds that might be earthtly — to tales of the human fantasies and magical dreams to which we all succumb.
