Publisher's Synopsis
One short of a genuine dirty dozen. Far from the bleak world of the pornographic nihilism of The Comedies of Despair Trilogy, Blake Ryder first tackled the aesthetics of Eros with a series of flash-fiction XXX vignettes in When Eros Burns. Sexual surrealism - from the light-hearted to the incipiently Sadean; from the joy of orgasmic pleasure to the fantasies of the fornicator - designed to tempt lapsed Christians further away from their Lord. "T'was pornography that saved a wretch like me. I was blind but now I see. Joking aside, erotica (or pornography as the two terms exist not as polar opposites but as points on a continuum of sexually explicit imagery) was instrumental in my transition from lapsed Christian to Atheist. It's a journey chronicled in the Comedies of Despair Trilogy but its seed was planted here, so to speak, in these experimental flash fiction tales."
