Product Description

Product Description

A newly revised and updated edition of the bestselling collection of contemporary erotic fiction, this anthology of erotic short stories has been revised and expanded with new sensual tales especially commissioned for the volume. So it is that Vicki Hendricks, Michael Hemmingson, Thomas Roche, Marilyn Jaye-Lewis, Mark Pritchard, and Stewart Home contribute original works to a collection already distinguished by such major names as Kathy Acker, Samuel Delany, Clive Barker, Leonard Cohen, and Anne Rice.


Ingram

This gathering of writings from well-known authors is a celebration of sensual love from classic times to the present day. Representing some of literature's brightest lights, this anthology aptly fulfills the many purposes of erotic writing. Included here are selections from Anais Nin, Anne Rice, Pat Califia, Alice Joanou, and many others. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars literary sexuality, Aug 25 2003
By David C. Cain "Malinov" (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the finest collections of literary sexuality I have had the pleasure to read. Far from mere titillation, the stories are intriguing, thought-provoking and fascinating. Oh, and from time to time, the stories are really hot. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have erotic anthology! for vassi!, Jul 15 2003
By Robert Nagle "idiotprogrammer" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was shocked to read the other lukewarm reviews of this book. I bought this book about 10 years ago and found the stories compelling, entrancing (not to mention erotic). The book covers the darker side of eroticism--death, SM, but there's a lot of softer stuff. The real reason to buy the book is Marco Vassi's 80 page novella "Carcass of Dreams" (which I would argue is one of the best series of erotic stories ever written). The stories are more Bataille or Jean de Berg than Kundera, a lot of dark brooding nonsense. Another gem is Robert Silverberg's "Two at Once" one of the most delightful stories I'd read. Surprisingly, the Anne Rice story is one of the weakest of the bunch. Maxim Jakubowski also edited the excellent "Mammoth Book of International Erotica" (although I didn't find it as steamy as this original volume). For those who still prefer reading an intellectually-engaging dirty book once in a while and don't mind morbidity and S/M, this book will be great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, Dec 16 2002
By A Customer
I guess it all depends on what you are looking for. No, this is not.... letters, not for the faint of heart, not if you're looking for run of the mill erotica, not one bang after another. The stories were very well written and well developed. Very interesting. Not always a turn on, but extremely well done.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Real Disappointment
What can I say, this book was NOT erotic. It was dark and depressing for the most part. Rather than stimulating ones interest, it made me want to become celebate. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Decidedly UN-erotic!
While a few of the stories in this compliation have some sensual quality, the vast majority are quite disturbing or rather boring. Read more
