About the author

D.E. Oprava is an award-winning writer, artist, and lecturer. He holds a PhD from Swansea University and is currently the Subject Leader for Creative Writing at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Six of his seven published books are collections of poems; however, his most recent, The Codex Epiphanix (Bluemoose Books, 2016) is a hybrid of prose, poetry, and original artwork. The book hones in on his personal feelings about the essential vs the incidental in literature and how a book, by its very nature, should be a multi-dimensional experience. Oprava has long been a champion of the experimental and when not writing, drawing, or reading, he is trying to find new modes of expression and experiences to fuel the endless creative process.

[Tôpher Mills · Rating 4 out of 5]

Luridly and linguistically bawdy. This slight tale is disturbingly hilarious in all the right ways. High camp erotic fantasy with a shocking ending!
