Miller's book plunges readers into the twisted mentalities of some of the most horrible human beings with the hope of shedding light on the perversion, violence, rage and subversion that everyone struggles with. His unusual and fiercely original stories include the rape of a wordless victim watching a woman dance behind glass at a peep show by another man; of the rage felt against a woman wearing a fur coat, mid- intercourse; and a pet store clerk who returns at night to torture the animals, his behaviour so debased the owners blame and blugeon the chimpanzee.
