A celebration of movement, an expression of emotions, a glorification of the human form, dance can be a vehicle for romance, emotional healing, self-expression, or even a ritual of seeking rain, abundant harvests, and fertile, happy unions. <P>The fourteen stories of this unusual anthology are of the dance put to other, darker uses. Here it appears as the means of luring prey, a cold business proposition, a hard-fought competition and aggression, an expression of misogyny, a manifestation of an unhealthy mind and even a pathway to madness. The stories contain strong plot lines and dénouements that are both plausible and satisfying, but the moods they evoke, their settings, and the characters they reveal are refreshingly varied. <P>Included in this stellar anthology are the following: In Our Part of the World by Andrew Kennedy  Dirty Dancing by Carole Nelson Douglas  Changing Partners by Henry Slesar  Dancing the Night Away by Brendan DuBois  The Trespasser by Alexandra Whitaker  Mrs. Website's Dance by Ina Bouman  At the Hop by Bill and Judy Crider  The Dance of the Apsara by Joan Richter  Death of a Damn Moose by Barbara Burnett Smith  Jookin' and Jivin'  by Linda Kerslake  Dance with Death by Carmen Iarrera  The Mechanique Affair by Ruth Cagin  You Can Jump by Mat Coward  Tango Was Her Life by John Lutz MYSTERY; COLLECTIONS 6 X 9, 448 PAGES $14.95 31222 1 2 2002 Death Dance total:1|4:1| 1 4 8 0 0 0 false false Tue Apr 14 01:11:15 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 01:11:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Apr 11 12:24:31 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 12:24:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 17 11:52:09 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 11:52:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 01 12:59:15 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 12:59:15 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Dec 08 09:15:44 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 09:15:44 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Aug 24 22:46:24 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 22:46:24 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jun 15 15:49:11 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 15:49:11 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 06 23:01:59 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 23:06:35 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=30890
