The short version: The Brothers Grimm meet Wolf in the woods and offer to cure him of his desire to eat children. Wolf is left with a decision. Can the satisfaction of a "normal" life outweigh the joys of his perversion? Are his desires truly deranged, or is he simply giving full expression to his nature? Does he have an obligation — as his occasional companion Devil argues — to live as a unique individual in the manner to which he was born?

Originally published by Ecco Press/HarperCollins, Darkest Desire was called "brisk and sly," by Publishers Weekly, "an artful, ironic updating of venerable material, done with zest and great originality," by Kirkus Reviews, and "…a tour-de-force of first-person narration," by the Minneapolis StarTribune. "People who believe that 'ethical journalist' is an oxymoron will love Anthony Schmitz's prickly novella," said the New York Times Book Review.
