Salome and other Decadent Fantasies

Salome and other Decadent Fantasies Synopsis

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: "e;Salome,"e; "e;O For a Fiery Gloom and Thee,"e; "e;The Last Worshipper of Proteus,"e; "e;The Evil That Men Do,"e; "e;Ebony Eyes,"e; "e;The Fisherman's Child,"e; "e;The Storyteller's Tale,"e; "e;The Unluckiest Thief,"e; "e;The Flowers in the Forest,"e; "e;The Mandrake Garden,"e; and "e;Chanterelle."e;
