About this ebook

The Torture We Adore is a collection of twelve short stories, all focusing on the tragic and morbid reality of attraction, contradicting the traditional view of relationship, love and sex. The book presents, in graphic detail, the insanity that one can be driven to by love or lack thereof. Whether it’s in the form of a story of a woman who falls in love with a convicted wife beater, a man whose complete devotion to his wife also fuels his blackest hatred or the tale of a brother and sister whose dependence on each other leaves them incompetent to ever separating. Underneath all gore and disturbing detail lays a theme of deep emotional scarring that can come from falling for another person

Ratings and reviews

The Torture We Adore by Vider Leprav is a collection of short stories all with a common theme of obsession, love, the dark side of desires and abusive relationships. The first story definitely grabs your attention and glues your eyes to each and every word so much so that it's hard to put down, with the rest of the stories following suit. Brilliantly written, some of the stories are hard to comprehend but you know at least some bits are a reality bite in the world we live in. Definitely not for the faint hearted, Leprav knows how to engage his audience through a different kind of lense. Each story is unique from the next and at times it's quite grotesque in nature. Please note I received a complimentary copy of this book through Voracious Readers Only. All opinions in this review are my own.
