Sobre IBD

This anthology from the fringe examines our culture’s obsession with taboos and the added temptation that forbidden pleasures bring. Warnings of danger and peril only heighten our desire for those things we have been told are bad, wrong and have been warned against doing.Postmodernists and surrealists come together in these pages with renegade horror and sci-fiction authors to re-envision what is 'acceptable.' By turns humorous and horrific then shocking and alluring, the authors dissect those very impulses we deny in our everyday lives.While navigating the minefield of gender relations and plotting explorations into the landscape of the other, this volume is all-inclusive in scope. It allows for every lifestyle and viewpoint, nomatter how unlikely or bizarre. This literary experiment on human desire opens up many possibilities including the chance that the ultimate disaster might very well prove to be the mostcompelling temptation.
