A Large & Startling Figure

The Harry Crews Online Bibliography


Short Stories

During his apprentice years, Crews claims to have written a "room full" of short stories only to have the majority of them rejected. As a result, only a small number, most of them published early in his career, exist in print.


Little Deaths: An Anthology of Erotic Horror "Becky Lives."
Little Deaths: An Anthology of Erotic Horror.
Ellen Datlow, ed.
NY: Dell, 1995.
35-63.

Little Deaths is a collection of stories on a theme, what Georges Bataille calls in The Tears of Eros, "the coincidence of death and eroticism." In "Becky Lives," Jason Crowder procures the help of a prostitute to have revenge on his ex-wife, who had abandoned him and their two-year old daughter sixteen years ago. Crews's writing, as publicly consumable as it gets, is well tuned, and the story moves quickly to the inevitable Poe-like ending. First published in hardback in 1994.
