About the book

Little Deaths is an anthology of erotic horror edited by Ellen Datlow, one of the most influential editors in the field. Its stories, by a wide range of established and newer writers, explore the old link between desire and death, using sex and the body as ways into fear, obsession and transformation. The tales move between the psychological and the supernatural, and many of them are sexually explicit, so the book is firmly for adult readers. Published in the mid-1990s, the anthology won the World Fantasy Award for best anthology in 1995.
