In the tradition of Stephen King’s Different Seasons and Anne Rice’s Lestat Chronicles, acclaimed author Dan Simmons presents his most ambitious work ever, in a collection of five novellas that explore the exquisite conjunction of love and death. Combining consummate literary artistry and undiluted emotional impact, Lovedeath portrays a world-sometimes terrifyingly, often tantalizing-just beyond the familiar. Rarely has an author depicted human sexuality at such an unbridled, startling pitch, or portrayed a love that flirts so recklessly with its own extinction.
