Product Description
This gritty, guilty pleasure read is destined to become a cult classic. Five interconnected tales introducing the character known by one nefarious name - Danté - and delving into his numerous dances with his own dark side - obsession, addiction, lust, all those human motivations that make us do unexpected things with no regrets. EDITORIAL Review: Dancing With The Devil is a work of dark brilliance - an emotional experience that can leave the reader with the hollow emptiness that follows intense passion and explosive lust for a lover who will take you to ecstatic heights, then destroy you. It is that kind of writing - a journey into the lower depths of the soul with the path illuminated by flashes of hot lightning. And when it is all over, the emptiness slowly fills with the awareness of having survived and of having experienced the brutal edge of life at its most dangerous and most exhilarating. One thing can be guaranteed; you will not forget having read this book. It will excite you, haunt you and finally, it will cast you aside and leave you wanting more. ~ Toby Grace, Editor, Out IN Jersey magazine
About the Author
My favorite quote about writing is from Ernest Hemingway: "Write hard and clear about what hurts." That's what intrigues me - the pain and internal struggle between what we want and what we actually allow ourselves to do. I write the things people think, but are too scared to act on. Because we all have inner Devils, and sometimes they come out and dance ... whether we like it or not." ~ Taylor Siluwé Writing and directing a ninth-grade production titled Land of the Mandinka (an African Romeo & Juliet) gave Taylor Siluwé a burning passion to write. After studying creative writing at New York University, his first erotically charged short story, "A Taste for Cherries" appeared in the anthology, Tough Guys (Black Books). His work has since appeared in the anthologies, Law of Desire (Alyson Publications), and Best Gay Erotica 2008 (Cleis Press). Victor Hoff (who writes for Huffington Post, Men Of Color blog, et al) sums up Taylor Siluwé's 2009 offering - the darkly provocative short-story collection DANCING WITH THE DEVIL - with these words: "Taylor Siluwé journeys into some of the most hellish scenarios one would expect to find love and yet, as the writer more than capably shows, love, like weeds through brick, sprouts in many of the most unlikely places." Ka-os||Theory, London - put it this way: "...Siluwé's work is something different, a revelation, a bit special." The Jersey City native and amateur shutterbug spends his time writing and taking pretty pictures for Out IN Jersey magazine (most distributed regional for the LGBT community), and sounding off on his website, SGLcafé.com which shines a much needed light on Same Gender Love. Taylor is currently in the process of bringing DANCING WITH THE DEVIL to life.
