Proving right out of the gate that this isn’t your garden-variety (see what I di–okay, I’ll stop now) collection, M. Fourteen brave souls responded with tales ranging from lyrical to pornographic. Having inspired the incredible cover you see above, Berman had to put out a call and come up with the goods. Hammy, plummy, busty, lusty, and OTT, it was a perfect complement to Steve Berman’s superbly twisted collection.Īpparently, this volume grew out of a dare between Berman and designer extraordinaire Matt Bright, who took Berman’s groaner of a title as an artistic challenge. Among the choicer morsels was Twice-Told Tales, an adaptation of three Nathaniel Hawthorne stories, including the root (see what I did there?) of plant erotica, “Rappacini’s Daughter” (1844). While reading His Seed, I was also working my way through a box set of Hammer horror films on DVD, those wonderfully cheesy mid-sixties campfests starring Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing or–glory of glories–all three.
Life provides some interesting juxtapositioning.
