Very beautifully written in a style not often found today. On this site, my interest in the stories doesn't usually last until the final paragraph, but I couldn't stop reading this. Sensual, poetic, and classic. Unforgettable.
Atmospheric exploration of the theme in cerebral prose, yet a a familiar tale with all the appealing parts of a Horror Anthology like Tales from the Crypt including some with lovely raunch. ^_^ The apparent "split" between the primal and the intellectual is something you do well in your work.
and a hidden strength in the carefully chosen prose. Hints, whispers of the macabre, flow in the undercurrent while the reader is edged by a master of his craft. This is not crass writing; it's a fine-dining affair for those with a discriminating palate. A tasty dish, indeed!
