Strange Mistresses: Tales of Wonder & Romance by James Dorr

With reprints from the pages of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Tomorrow SF, Aboriginal SF, Short Story Digest, and other leading publications, along with the original fiction and poetry, Strange Mistresses offers the first comprehensive -- and long awaited -- collection of James Dorr's work. Dorr is a recipient of the 1998 Best of the Web Award and finalist for both the Anthony (mystery) and Darrell (stories set in the mid-south) Awards. He has worked as a technical writer, associate editor on a city magazine, a full-time non-fiction freelancer, and as a musician. 

"'Bitter Perfume' ...an exceptionally fine oriental fantasy, begging comparison to those of Jessica Amanda Salmonson..my praise can come no higher..." 
- t. winter-damon, co-author of Duet for the Devil 

"The fantasy is decidedly dark, the somberness relieved by the bright red of blood, the phosphorescence of decay...The writing throughout is disciplined and evocative. There is an exotic opulence to the decadence..." 
- Frieda Westford, Foxfax
