The source of the title, The Wild Side

(Warning: adult content in the video)

When Publisher Toni and I were first discussing this anthology, we both thought the title's source would be obvious. I've since learned that a great many people have never heard of the Lou Reed song from which we took the anthology's name.

If you're one of those folks, check out this video, which does a decent job of showing some of the song's background while playing a decent recording.


If the video worries you, relax; all we took from the song was the name. Each of the book's stories is its own thing set in its own world.
