A novella that was originally part of the epic series Legacy of Cain by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs is an exploration of the themes of sado-masochism and female dominance in a time when the terms had yet to be conceived. The main character dreams of the goddess Venus wearing furs while he speaks to her about love. Unable to let go of the fantasy, he reads a book that tells the story of Severin and Wanda, a couple involved in a sado-masochistic relationship. Severin enslaves himself to Wanda, who treats him with ever-increasing brutality and disdain. The novel was translated into English in 1921 by Fernanda Savage, and has been adapted multiple times for film and theater. In 2013, it was adapted for film again into a French movie by the same title, based on the 2010 play by American playwright David Ives, which was in turn inspired by this classic.

Judith Butler's new book considers the way in which psychic life is generated by the social operation of power, and how that social operation of power is concealed and fortified by the psyche that it produces. It combines social theory, philosophy, and psychoanalysis in novel ways, and offers a more sustained analysis of the theory of subject formation implicit in her previous books.

The ground-breaking psycho-analytical studies of Richard von Krafft-Ebing in the field of sexual perversion and mania shed light on some astonishing, and deeply shocking, case histories. At the very extreme of his investigations, detailed in the classic "Psychopathia Sexualis", were graphic studies of sadism, lustmurder, cannibalism and vampirism, necrophilia and necro-sadism; sometimes expressed in complex fantasies and nightmares, but in other instances all too real, as in the cases of the necrophiliac grave-despoiler Sergeant Bertrand, and of Victor Ardisson, the “human vampire” who was discovered raping a child's rotting corpse. Krafft-Ebing’s work was most notably followed up by Wilhelm Stekel, whose own volume of 64 case histories, "Sadism and Masochism", included even more extreme examples of violent perversion, as noted in the section “Cannibalism, Necrophila, and Vampirism”. This special ebook publication collects the most disturbing and notorious case histories of lustmurder, necrophilia and related criminal manias from both "Psychopathia Sexualis" and "Sadism and Masochism", affording a grim and unrelenting glimpse into the darkest voids of the human psyche.
