Sex and death have always been interrelated. The French describe orgasm as a petite mort (the little death). In Shakespearean England, "to die" also meant to have an orgasm. The Victorians believed a man's climax depleted his physical strength and moral resolve and brought him closer to death. Likewise, women's engagement with the sex act equated a loss of vitality. We are as keen on examining how we procreate as we are on examining our demise: put the two themes together, and you have an explosive, daring literary venture into the taboo. Dying For It: Stories of Sex and Death satisfies by with an exciting and entertaining variety of textual (and, it is hoped, fictional!) expressional on the two most intimate human acts. Contributors include novelists from across the literary spectrum: Lauren Henderson, Vicki Hendricks, Adreana Robbins, Tobsha Learner, Niall Griffiths, Lisette Ashton, and the editor, Mitzi Szereto.
