There is no sexual act that is not dangerous...
And every caress, no matter how innocent, has the power to open our lives to the dark mysteries of desire, the places where outrageous fantasies and fears are held in check.
Held in check, that is, until it occurs to such supremely talented manipulators of the macabre as Stephen King, Ruth Rendell, Clive Barker, or Patrick McGrath, to let them loose, turning our erotic anxieties into art. Herę are gathered the best of their chilling, thrilling, upsetting, and unsettling experiments with our sexual psyches. And rest assured, flesh will tingle—but whether from horror or pleasure or a bit of both, we'll leave you to judge.
From its opening pages, with King's blackly humorous portrait of a very very mad housewife, to its conclusion, where we find Barker's wholly shocking tale of a deadly quest into the heart of passion, / Shudder at Your Touch brings you a host of kinky, perverse, bizarre, and creepy figures. You'U find a cricket-playing vampire, a sleek sea creature likely to give mermaids a bad name, a strangely seductive handyman who's equally adept at knocking down apartment walls and female inhibitions, and a plastic religious statuę offering X-rated enlightenment from its perch atop the family TV.
/ Shudder at Your Touch features 22 daring writ-ers who prefer to go too far, writers whose every tale will have you fighting back a scream...and acryofdelight.
