From the author of "Cat Person"?"the short story that launched a thousand theories" (The Guardian You Know You Want Thishearing Spanning a range of genres and topics?from the mundane to the murderous and supernatural?these are stories about sex and punishment, guilt and anger, the pleasure and terror of inflicting and experiencing pain. These stories fascinate and repel, revolt and arouse, scare and delight in equal measure. And, as a collection, they point a finger at you, daring you to feel uncomfortable?or worse, understood?as if to say, "You want this, right? You know you want this."
