Twenty-five dark stories that span a daring breadth of genres - by the author ofObjects of Worship and The Door to Lost Pages, which Publishers' Weekly calls "intensely memorable" and "insanely imaginative."

In these noir tales that unfold at the edge of realism, mythic nocturnes from impossible pasts, and disquietingly intimate stories of speculative fiction, Claude Lalumiere explores our collective and intertwined obsessions with sex and death.
