Synopsis
Legends and myths of all cultures tell of those possessing captivating allure we are powerless to resist. Sirens, demon lovers, femme fatales, and others compel our love, drawing us into realms of forbidden desire and uncontrollable passion. These seductions are not always supernatural, nor even sexual. We can be haunted by unrequited desire, ensnared by our own minds, or swept away by another's madness. Obsession overwhelms, takes us to irrational extremes, involves us in dangerous liaisons and fatal attractions... obsession consumes. Enticing, compulsively readable tales from nineteen masterful storytellers.
