By Loren Rhoads, Maria Alexander, Mehitobel Wilson and Christa Faust
The third Dark Arts Books release spotlights the deadly, seductive lures of four amazing writers.
Sins of the Sirens was released on January 10, 2008, and features new stories and rarities from Maria Alexander, Christa Faust, Loren Rhoads and Mehitobel Wilson. The largest Dark Arts collection yet, this anthology features 20,000 words of fiction from each author, including “Firebird” an original novelette from Christa Faust!
The seduction of an angel; the lure of the lash; the touch of psychic hands; living ropes that wind and bind… these are just a few of the alluring sins of these sirens. Look inside, but be careful they don’t lure you in too far…
“If you’ve ever been told that dames are into the hearts-and-flowers, caress-my-inner-Goddess brand of eroticism, crack a copy of Sins of the Sirens and take a taste of .44-caliber love and stiletto desire.”

WHAT THE CRITICS SAID:
My first thought in reviewing this book is that there is a level of deeply honest eroticism and fantasy to these stories that you seldom see in fiction. These aren’t stories for the faint of heart. They are also not stories men should read if they have to stand up in public. They ARE stories that will stick with you…. this is a very strong, very intense and emotionally charged collection from some of the most talented ladies of darkness working in the horror and speculative fiction fields today.

Overall, Sins of the Sirens is a worthy anthology that acquaints readers with four notable genre voices. It’s yet another solid addition to the growing catalog of Dark Arts Books and a fine example of the positive contributions of the horror small press. Sins’ subject matter is a perfect fit for the small press, and Everson does an excellent job catering to the specific tastes of those who like their horror on the sensual side – with just a hint of the nasty.

One thing I can tell you is not to waste time searching for a common thread between the tales in Sins of the Sirens. You would be a fool to do so. Each author brings her own unique approach to this book, and their own unique style.
