About the author
Paul G. Bens Jr.
11Ìýbooks74ÌýfollowersBorn in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, far too many years ago to be honest about, Paul G. Bens, Jr., has spent the majority of his adult life in the entertainment industry. His first foray into Hollywoodland was as a casting assistant on the feature films Trip to Spirit Island and Martians Go Home. He then graduated to Casting Associate and worked for three years on the NBC hit series Night Court as well as the short-lived series Walter & Emily, Good & Evil and The Linda Lavin Show. As a film and television Casting Director he was responsible for the principal casting of such fine (ahem!) feature films as Death Ring, Evil Obsession and Flipping, as well as the television series Ned & Stacey, Malcolm & Eddie, Likely Suspects, Murder in Small Town X and a string of unsold pilots. Outside of casting, Bens has been many things: a film producer, a file clerk, an altar boy, a bartender (still makes killer martinis), a boy scout and, for a second-and-a-half, an actor.
As an author, Bens' short fiction has appeared in Cemetery Dance, Dark Discoveries, The Egg Box, Outsider Ink, Scared Naked, HeavyGlow, Bleeding Quill, Twisted Tongue, Velvet Mafia: Dangerous Queer Fiction and Chick Flicks. His debut novel "Kelland" was awarded the 2009 Dark Quill Award for Best Small Press Chill.
Currently, Bens marks time working for an historic Hollywood film studio as a paralegal in the new media division. He lives in the Los Angeles area with his ever-patient husband. When not writing, he can generally be found driving around smoggy Los Angeles, singing along with the radio to Van Halen, Def Leppard or The Smashing Pumpkins, and day-dreaming about living full time in Hawai‘i.

I read this story on a hot summer evening just before I went to sleep, when it was originally on Paul's .
The next morning, I woke up lovingly contemplating my feet, knowing they easily meet and maybe even exceed the standards of beauty set forth in this erotic and chilling tale. As I dressed and slipped into a comfortable pair of sandals, I realized I could no longer take them for granted, that they had to be guarded with my life.

Who knew a story about feet could be so good? Cyrus has a foot fetish that began when he was just a little boy and there's nothing, and I mean nothing, that he won't do for the perfect pair of feet.
At times shocking, horrifying, amusing and even sexy, this short story is definitely an entertaining read. I know I'll never be able to hear "this little piggy" again without my toes curling. Highly recommended.

OMG! That was so not what I was expecting and never have I been so happy for my "tree climbers", as my husband so lovingly refers to my hoof-like appendages. I also must say, that I will never again view the little child's rhyme "This Little Piggy" the same. It is now a sexual segue into a horrifyingly twisted foot fetish.
This short novella was 13 pages of brilliance. It amused me, shocked me, and had me pulling my sweet little tootsies up under me to protect their "an affair in red square" colored selves from any unexpected harm.

This short story did not proceed the way I expected. It is dark and sexy in a most unusual way. Disturbing but what a read! I am very glad I have ugly feet.

I shelved this book on the recommendation of my friend Nancy. I thought it sounded quite sweet and romantic, I think feet are lovely too, and what's more cute than trying to find a partner with the perfect feet. I shelved it as Romance. Nancy told me off, she said it's not romance. Turns out she was right. It's disturbing.. and a bit hot.. but it wasn't romance. Read it and find out!

I absolutely love the last part when he mentioned about the hacksaw and the sound of bone being chewed away. Have no idea it was an erotic horror.
I've always thought I have an unhealthy obsession toward my boyfriend's cute toes (little piggy, as Cyrus called it). How wrong I was when I assumed mine was unhealthy. Clearly Cyrus' beats mine to shame.
The descriptions of Victor Wong and Tery's (with one r) feet are deliciously vivid, it was almost beautiful from the point of view of my deranged mind.
If I like this book, does it make me a perv? Well, I thought I was already one.

I enjoyed Paul Ben's other "mini macabres", but this one was a little too short and a little too weird. :-) Not bad for a little horror story, but not much to it.

Nothing turns Cyrus on like a great pair of� feet. In his words, he needs to “see them, touch them, worship them, fuck them.� And lucky Cyrus. He works at Barney’s Shoe department! It’s there that he picks up Tery and invites him home to dinner.
Steamy sex (who knew feet could be so sexy) and mental madness equals a great short story. Forty pages of highly recommended reading.

A tale with a serious twist at the end. What starts out as 2 men having dinner, maybe in the hope of a homosexual encounter quickly turns out to be something more sinister. Even though it is a shorter story, certainly one character is elaborately drawn and very life-like. A fetish being a strange thing to many people just adds an extra layer to it.

An effectively creepy little horror tale about how far someone will go to satisfy their particular fetish. Bens is a gifted writer and brings the right amount of fascination, eroticism and unease to this short story. Looking forward to reading more of his work.

This was just a quick read on the way to work today. A fetish is one thing but this is just a step beyond a fetish (no pun intended). Sorry to say this is just a little much for my sensitivities.

It was entertaining, although I thought it would be a cute little murder mystery and not gay porn. But I love surprises. :-)
