Surprisingly enough, the tales woven within the volume are not necessarily as gory or depraved as one may anticipate. Rather, they range a broad spectrum from the repulsive to the utterly beautiful, the surreal to the criminal and back again. But if you want something a little dangerous, stories that take a chance and instead of opting for the safety of the now-accepted subgenre of erotic horror draw blood with writing that goes a step further, an inch deeper than before read on. Indeed, the enigmatic sub-genre Guran has developed in the selection of works presented is utterly boundless, adamantly refusing to be contained. Hence, one may tend to experience a sense of disorientation while processing the images that emerge within the authors words and conceptions.
Embraces is far more than intense or severe it s haunting.
In fact, nothing could be more difficult or futile than attempting to hold up a single work as representative of the collection. Each work is truly visionary in its own right and serves to illuminate a facet of the darkness encountered within the collection as a whole. Though some readers may find the tales more sexually charged than others, there is, without question, far more to Embraces than mere eroticism. The collection, as a vehicle for forging beyond cultural and individual limits, targets the depth of the psyche far more intensely than it does the loins. Yet, if erotic inspiration does arise, don t hold back.
