For the Love of Death

 

 

A lonely housewife with a questionable fetish. This tale of necrophilia shows that even the most perfect families have their dark secrets, and that sexual fantasy can be taken to the extreme. This is my first paid publication and will be out this month in the anthology "Sinisterotica".

 I love that out of all my stories, this is the first to get recognition. It is a personal favorite of mine, but not because it has any depth or meaning. I wanted to write a trashy "American Beauty"". I was about 21 when I wrote this and discovering the boundaries of my own sexual appetite. I wanted to show that inside even the most pristine of us is a nympho just waiting to bust. Really, "For the Love of Death" is one big sarcastic joke. I do hope this isn't the only kind of story publishers want from me.
