A review by zeldazonks
Gothic Tales by Marquis de Sade

3.0

This collection of short stories is my first experience of reading Sade, and it is somewhat what I expected. There are 2/3 longer stories that are more philosophical/religious in nature and are concerned with sex in relation to morals, and the other stories are shorter and almost have the function of a limerick or a long form joke. The language was a bit archaic at times, and so it took a lot of concentration and made it slightly more obtuse to read. On the whole I think this is a good intro to Sade, however I don't think it's really my cup of tea. 

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
