Erotic Literature & Art Photos For Adults

This is an exceptional collection of serious erotica. The selected pieces gathered for this compilation offer something for every adult. I particularly liked "House Spirits" by Stephen Minot, a tempting look at a 3-some living on an abandoned farm. The story sneaks up on you. The art photos were enjoyable. I liked the cover photo so much I used it as a theme for a series of oil paintings I'm still working on. Anyone interested in adult erotica will enjoy this book.
