Lust

Two husbands secretly agree to a night of passion - with each other's wives, a slighted old man takes an elaborate and chilling revenge on his tormentor, a sculpture comes between a scheming wife and her put-upon husband . . . Lust highlights a domestic familiarity always on the edge of something much, much darker. Collected together for the first time, stories include Madame Rosette , Neck , Georgy Porgy , The Visitor , The Last Act , The Great Switcheroo , Bitch , Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life , The Ratcatcher and Nunc Dimittis .
