Drenched: Stories of Love and Other Deliriums

Love and lust know no boundaries for many. "Drenched: Stories of Love and Other Deliriums" is a collection of short fiction from Marisa Matarazzo as she puts together a collection of tales blending the sensual and the fantastic. Her stories tell real facts of love and the many questions asked as people face it and throughout it. Riveting and thought provoking reading, "Drenched" is a choice pick for any fiction collection.

Writing conducted at the sentence level has always made perfect sense to me. That's what gets me in, writing or reading, and Matarazzo's sentences are the most enjoyable I've read in a long time. Each of the ten stories in DRENCHED kinda blew my brain up in the best way...the smart, funny, exquisitely crafted and consistently surprising kind of way--and not surprising as in forced or trying too hard...I'm lookin at you Publisher's Weekly--just purposeful and musical and expectation exploding. She's also generous to her characters and writes fiction that makes life more meaningful and makes the world seem like a richer place in ways that skeptics and cynics like myself can believe in. As an often reluctant reader I found myself eager for more, as an often stifled writer I felt like I had permission to the point of being inspired. Do yourself a favor and buy this book...you'll love it!

Sexy, weird, and totally whisks you away. The sentences are amazing and the stories are like nothing you've read. Should you read it? Right away.
