Foreword by Rob Knight
From the rush of adrenaline the creak of the closet door in the dark of the night gives us, to the erotic shiver of the promise of the vampire’s
teeth sinking into our skin, monsters penetrate our psyche. The whispers in the dark cause goosebumps much like the ones raised when our
lovers slide fingers along the same skin.
How delicious when the monster and the lover are one and the same.
From the ubiquitous monster hiding beneath the bed, to the threat of a beast hiding just beneath what appears to be normal human flesh, we
have spent generations distilling our fears, our thrills, our sexual desires into cautionary tales, into dark fantasy. Into visceral, soul-deep
shadows that are enjoyed by the light of the moon, of the flashlight hidden under our covers, of the flickering lights in the campfire or the
movie theater.
To wed monsters to the erotic is the marriage of a pair of long-term lovers, two ripe entities born in the night and you, dear readers, are the
audience to this set of nuptials.
So come in, have a seat.
Just remember, tuck your feet beneath you. You don’t know what could be lurking under your chair.
