Desire & Devour: Stories of Blood & Sweat
''Whether he s writing poetry, erotic short stories, or novels, Jeff Mann brings a fluency to the form at hand and a dose of man-to-man electricity generated by shifting power dynamics.'' --Kilian Melloy for EDGE''Mann ravishes these stories, giving each its own spin yet bringing it all back to Maclaine in the end a fascinating character worthy of a longer, less fractured narrative. Mann clearly enjoys writing him, and he embodies the deep connection between Celts and the American South. Mann's penchant for BDSM kink is also present, though rarely brought to the forefront. In short, if you're a fan of his, this is one volume you'll relish. And if you're not, it's a perfect place to start.'' --Jerry Wheeler for Out in Print
