Customer Reviews

The book that introduced me to erotica!

I purchased this book as a college student in 1994. I had never even heard of erotica as a genre, much less had any idea that brown-paper covered books might be literary, or that there would be anthologies of material that represented such a broad range of turn-ons and appetites, presented in a healthy and judgement-free way. I am a huge fan of this year/edition of the fantastic BAE series. Favorite stories from this edition include the compelling and baldly poetic tale of desperate need "Slow Dance on the Fault Line" - WOW!!!! and the *hot* and *damp* "Sweating Profusely in Merida: A Memoir" (sweaty, slick and visceral...) Virtually anything Susie Bright touches turns to gold. I had the pleasure of meeting her once at a book reading/signing at Skylight Books in Los Feliz (Los Angeles). I am forever grateful to her and this volume in particular. I've had 13 years of happy erotica-binging ever since! As Susie might say, "Clits Up!"

It Got Me Started

Before this book, I had read erotica with no ambition whatsoever to write any myself. Two stories in this book changed all that: PG DIARY and SWEATING PROFUSELY IN MERIDIA. They were good and, unlike much of what is called erotic, they were engaging on other levels. I liked the protagonists, I was interested in their plight, they seemed human, they seemed to be enjoying themselves and not doing it for my pleasure. Ms. Bright put together a nice collecion. I forgot. Stone Butch Blues was nice, too.

Fantastic

When I saw Susie Bright's name on this collection of erotica I knew that I had to have it. The first collection of hers that I read was called HEROTICA and I have been hooked ever since. Her books are guaranteed to be imagintivly written and hot. She always has a nice mixture of hetro, homo, and lesbian eroticism with a dollop of fetishism thrown in to her collections. It makes for an eclectic, enjoyable read.

Fantastic

When I saw Susie Bright's name on this collection of erotica I knew that I had to have it. The first collection of hers that I read was called HEROTICA and I have been hooked ever since. She is such a great editor that one need not worry at all about the quality of the fiction in her collections. Her books are always guaranteed to be well written and hot. She never fails to include a nice mixture of hetro, homo, and lesbian eroticism with a dollop of fetishism thrown in to her collections. It makes for an eclectic, enjoyable read.
