In this volume, Milo Manara presents two erotic short stories that are characterized by a realistic view of our world: 'Deadly Rendez-Vous' is the story of a woman who allows herself to be abused by a brute to repay her husband's debts. The plot of 'The Trap' revolves around two young women who make a living by undressing in front of cameras - until the game with the lust of other men becomes bitterly serious. Even though Manara does not visit dream worlds and does not spread fantastic escapism here, his 'Dark Games' are characterized by sensuality and eroticism. A controversial staging of threat and desire. This book is 'stark nackt' - an erotic comic. Includes an exclusive art print.
