Of Devils & Deviants: An Anthology of Erotic Horror by Zoe-Ray Millard, Adam Millard
5.0
Disclaimer: I am a contributor to this anthology. However, this review is based on the other works included.
In terms of content, "Of Devils and Deviants" is exactly what the title suggests, an anthology of devilish and arousing fiction. These tales explore what it is that turns us on, even if we don't want to admit it ourselves. I must warn you that several are profoundly disturbing and may cause you to question everything you think you know about the human being. "Date Night" and "Martin" are two such tales. Others are just plain disgusting, in a sexy kind of way... if that makes any sense; "The Gift of Infidelity" and "Le Petit Mort" will show you what I mean. Many of the tales are so erotic and oozing with you-know-what that they will get you so excited you'll feel like exploding; gentlemen, put some comfortable trousers on before reading "Courbet and DeSade Share Secrets in Hell" and "The Green Man". Others are poetic, philosophical, and even romantic, such as the "Mask", "Camelot" and "The Devil: A Love Story". Every single one of the stories in this anthology makes for a steamy read.
Editors Adam and Zoe-Ray Millard have also done an amazing job of editing and formatting the anthology. The design and internal illustrations that accompany each tale are perfect and I only noticed about three typos, which is exceptionally low for any publication.
If you like stories that make you shiver with both fear and arousal and leave you begging for more, this anthology is for you.
