Weird, creepy stories for most of them… and loads of erotic encounters. A friend who becomes an object of lust and pleasure for a couple, a strange game of “sardines” between children, a princess who is madly in love with her reflection in a mirror, a book with magic spells that makes a naked man appear in the basement and whose blood can be used to make other spells work, a woman who fanaticises on biting… Every story is a little disturbing and corrosive but at the same time so attractive that you read all the way through.
