"Love after death.
"True love is a rapture that outlives the flesh, a desire that reaches beyond the grave, a passion that transfigures even death. This hauntingly seductive new collection of erotic stories by today's most celebrated authors probes the shadowy realm where life's two great mysteries -- love and death -- meet and embrace.
"Edited by one of today's most acclaimed anthologists of fantasy and speculative fiction, Killing Me Softly evokes all the terror, the beauty, and the awesome wonder of love after death. Nothing is left out. Nothing is forbidden." [jacket blurb, US pbk, November 1995].
