In the Netherlands the six volumes of Eric Kollen’s ‘Fragrance of Sin’ series count among the most popular gay books of all time. They are exciting, scandalous, virtuoso, hilarious and sometimes even deeply moving, but above all… exciting.

His stories are rich in imagination and wonderfully varied. Some are set in the present day, only for the reader to be swept, the next moment, into homo-erotic entanglements during the Second World War, in seventeenth-century Moravia, or in the age of Greek heroes and demigods.

The sexual energy of these stories is breathtaking; ‘Fragrance of Sin’ is exceptionally candid and absolutely uncompromising. And the text tingles with pleasure: it is not only the sperm, but also the mirth, that spatters from the pages.
