Salome and other Decadent Fantasies

Decadent literature is intrinsically and proudly a literature of moral challenge; it is sceptical, cynical, and satirical. It recognizes that everyday morality does not work either in practical or in psychological terms, and is therefore a sham, but that ideal morality is -- not necessarily unfortunately -- unattainable. This volume collects the best of Brian Stableford's decadent work, including: "Salome, " "O For a Fiery Gloom and Thee, " "The Last Worshipper of Proteus, " "The Evil That Men Do, " "Ebony Eyes, " "The Fisherman's Child, " "The Storyteller's Tale, " "The Unluckiest Thief, " "The Flowers in the Forest, " "The Mandrake Garden, " and "Chanterelle."
