L.Ö.G. is my fifth collection of erotic short stories – the debut, Klumpigheten, was released in 1999. The themes are more or less the same: eroticism (in Bataille's sense), religion, horror, slapstick, word-play, childish brutality. The subtitle is "Erotic Stories about Desire and Horror".
There are some short, concentrated, almost prose lyrical texts; a few philosophical-obscene dialogues; a Brother's Grimm-like tale ("The King that slept, almost all of him"); fantasies about Stump Angels and the Divine Heaven; a dissociative monologue about symbiotic, intergenerational love; a story about a junkie injecting heroin to silence the voices in his head as the same time while eroticizing the needle, the blood and the shot; etc.
Isabella Blomstrand made the cover illustration and took my new official writer's photo:
The book is available on paper, and soon also as audio and ebook.
