Smugglers Train & Other Stories - Paperback

by Eddie Woods (Author)

Sex and travel are the outstanding themes of Eddie Woods' riveting collection. Although fictional tales, they draw heavily on the author's own outrageously wild personal experiences in various parts of the world. The geographical settings range from Southeast Asia to continental Europe and London, and include a surreal sojourn in mid-1970s San Francisco. While the novella "A Gift from the Goddess" is a mystically-inspired tantric paean to the Hindu goddess Kali. But be warned, reading these stories could make you want to hit the road and get your libido furiously stirring
