Summary:

The stories gathered here are wonderfully imaginative, erotically charged, unforgettable. Dean Paschal explores a variety of different worlds, like that of "Sauteing the Platygast, " where evolution and the culinary arts have run amok, or the hospital emergency room of "Genesis" visited by a badly hemorrhaging drug addict. Elsewhere a mechanically inclined boy is seduced by a clockwork maiden, and a woman metamorphosed into a python relives some of the erotic moments of her previous life.
