Description: Classic erotic writing is all about suspense. The journey not the arrival matters. Here is a gripping collection of erotic stories by great writers such as Edgar Allen Poe and Bram Stoker, as well as modern masters such as Ruth Rendell, Patricia Highsmith and Robert Bloch. Several of the stories have been specially commissioned for Mysterious Erotic Tales.
Poe’s chilling story ‘Berenice’ is the tale of cousins whose passionate love is destroyed by a terrible disease. Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, tells in the story ‘The Secret of the Growing Gold’ of thwarted love and deadly revenge from beyond the grave.
Robert Bloch is one of America’s best known writers of horror stories and novels including the legendary Psycho. His story ‘The Undead’ is a horrifying tale of a modern-day Dracula. Another major writer of suspense is Ruth Rendell and her story ‘An Outside Interest’ is a frightening tale of malicious mischief that ends in disaster.
Fear, sensuality and the unseen world which lurks just beyond 'real life' combine in the stories gathered in this volume to create an erotic feast. Be warned! This book will disturb, excite and arouse.
