5thDarkerSideofLustcover

 

The world is not full of happily-ever-afters or one-on-one relationships—three or more can most certainly be a (happy) crowd and a complete stranger can be the ultimate lover.

Through 24 erotic stories and vignettes, the 5th Anniversary Edition of The Darker Side of Lust takes you back into the heads, hearts and "sexy parts" of its characters.

The Darker Side of Lust will satisfy straight, gay or bisexual fans of erotic fiction with stories that are seductive, suspenseful or risqué but never stray from reality. 

These erotic tales draw the reader in with their vivid descriptions, humor and candor—your carnal memories will be triggered and your senses aroused with what you never dreamed of as erotic. 


The Darker Side of Lust - 5th Anniversary Edition addresses sexless marriages, infidelity, open marriages, anal sex & pegging, masturbation, first-time encounters, sex work, religion, abuse and death through character-driven short stories featuring heterosexual, bisexual and transgender characters.

I read Abigail Ekue’s “The Darker Side of Lust” in two sittings. I can only say the same of very few books I’ve encountered. Her imagination and creativity paint realistic, seductive portraits with an unmistakable gift; enjoyment ensued.
— Taalam Acey, Spoken Word Artist

It takes a talented writer and an expansive amount of liberation and imagination to come up with something that is more sexy and passionate than raunchy and overtly extra. Abigail Ekue is all of that and more in my opinion.
— Okema T. Moore, Managing Editor, XI Magazine
Ekue is extremely skilled at telling stories about lovers that reveal more about each partner (or member, where more than two are, um, present) than their style of lovemaking...
