Tales of desire and crimes of passion set in dark alleys and closed bedrooms: perfect murders and strangely erotic encounters by desperate, angry women. Deathly Delights is Anne Dandurand's third collection of short stories; her first to be translated into English.
Fiction 1998"In these unconventional pieces, sex and death are never far apart ... she is mordant and morbid in a refreshing way." -Globe & Mail
"Dandurand's method of storytelling is atmospheric and colourful, a distinctive kind of Montreal Gothic."-Whig Standard
