Caring for a life can be murder to the mind of the carer. After seven years in a sexless Christian marriage spent caring for his disabled wife, he wrote three anonymous stories of surreal, violently sexualized perversity and abruptly abandoned her for a life of carnal indulgence. These are the stories: confronting, disturbing, satiric, discomforting and fetishistic - the underlying pathology of the "carer" dissected.

The "carer" has one of society's least rewarded and officially appreciated roles. They spend their life caring for another human being, usually disabled, for little money and no reward beyond the humanist or religious satisfaction self-sacrifice for another offers. They are assumed to be nice, good people who do a service to religious ideals of benevolence and charity.

But what lies underneath the mask of caring niceties? What hidden fantasies boil beneath the surface ready to explode under the right provocation? What sexual pathology attends those who devote their lives to caring for a disabled other?

All is answered in Blake Ryder's uncompromising study of carer pathology - Carer Fiction - bringing to e-book an unexplored paradox of human nature - the perversity of nicety.
