Meet Damien, a jaded young writer that finds himself compelled to purchase a pricey art photograph of a seductive nude woman rumored to be a dead occult priestess; one whose likeness he is convinced is as aware of him as he is of it. Join Alton and his neglected married acquaintance Thora; friends with "benefits," they enjoy one another regularly - right up until Thora's husband tracks her to Alton's house and reveals himself to be far less inattentive than they'd imagined. Crawl inside the head of a woman that every man wants a piece of, whether he realizes it or not. Their frightening worlds and others await readers amid the pages of "Funereal Diseases of the Mind: Fifteen tales of dark erotica," a collection of short fiction written by Dark Erotica Author Anthony Beal. The fifteen tales of horror erotica gathered here will bring you face to face with gods and vampires, psychotics and witches, shapeshifters and demons, and strip them bare for your delight and theirs. These stories they will tell huddled in crumbling dive motels and moonlit lakeside cabins where life and death are equally fleeting. They will bring you along on 2 a.m. pub crawls and sex club excursions that know their darkest sins. Most importantly, these offerings will awaken both character and reader to the fact that while love may or may not make the world go 'round, lust conquers all.
