1.0 out of 5 stars Best New Erotica? I don't think so!, Feb 11 2004

By	CoffeeGurl (MA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Volume 1 (Paperback)

This is the worst collection of short-story erotica I've ever read. The scenes lack heat, the characters are wooden and the stories are pointless. I like erotica that awakens my senses -- this book is the equivalent of a cold shower. The only stories I found acceptable were Anya Ross's The Editor vs. The Author and Michael Hemmingson's Movements. The rest of the stories in this anthology belong in the Penthouse forum. I shall stick to reading old and literary erotica from the likes of Marquis de Sade. The only new erotica I want to read are the fun novels from the Black Lace series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some really fun stories @ a good price, Sep 23 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Volume 1 (Paperback)

I think this book has some really fun, sexy stories by some of the top erotica authors in the US, as well as authors from other parts of the globe who I was unfamiliar with until now. I think the stories show a lot of imagination and are well-crafted. Some are incredibly hot. All of these stories were deemed good enough to have been published elsewhere during the year. A few of them have even appeared in some of Sheiner's anthologies,....

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of stories, with a few good ones, Sep 17 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Volume 1 (Paperback)

I can't complain about the price for what you get with this book - there are a ton of stories. Lots I couldn't read though, and some that weren't sexy at all. I love Isabelle Caruther's story, and Susanna Indigo's too, but I always like womens' stories the best. The overall quality isn't as high as Susie Bright's or Marcy Sheiner's books, but what's good in it is really good!

2.0 out of 5 stars a disappointment
This book is in need of some editing help (the term "weigh station" is way off and I was looking for a diet or a trucker story, and that's just the beginning), and... Read more
