About this title

From the Author:

"I had as much fun writing 'Speaking of Lust' as I've had with anything in years, and if you enjoy it half as much as I did you'll be happy indeed. As I already know you'll be happy with all the other stories in the book. For my part, I look forward to the other six volumes. And right about now the one I'm most looking forward to is 'Sloth.'" --from the introduction

From the Inside Flap:

The first volume in the Seven Deadly Sins series, "Speaking of Lust" is a collection of oustanding short stories on that exceedingly deadly sin known as lust. From James W. Hll's voyeuristic Fulbright fellow at a Jesuit university in Bilbao, Spain, obsessed with an exotic fifteen-year-old girl to Block's four characters--a soldier, a policeman, a doctor, and a priest--who share labyrinthine tales of passion and murder at a weekly bridge game, these stories are as beguiling as they are clever.

"Speaking of Lust" is a compelling anthology that will entertain and amaze readers with the power of desire raised to sinful proportions.
