Seven never-before-published tales span from the surreal, underground cruising landscapes of Manhattan to both modern and Edo-period Japan. Imperial Rome and Victorian England provide the background for unsettling and intense gay erotic horror and historical fantasy. This is Cardamone's third collection of short fiction, and this time the visions are darker, the escalating narratives more provocative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The time between Cardamone collections is woefully too long so when the speculative gay goddess conspires to gift us with a new one, you read...you consume...you devour. On Cardamone's literary plate, generous servings of horror and longing congeal in titillating and uncomfortable ways to help us see, clearly, that dangerous intersection between desire and deviancy, the vulnerability in venture. These tales will satiate even the most voracious of speculative fiction appetites.\" \u003cstrong\u003e-Vince A.
