It is entirely possible for a story to be both literary and erotic, to combine great story telling and excellent writing with the ability to arouse. These particular stories, playing with subjects sometimes unusual to average readers and certainly edgier than most, achieve this kind of combination. These aren't from the letters column of Penthouse, certainly. Sex is not (usually) the be-all and end-all of the tales -- quite anything usually encompassed by fiction can be found here, including show more love, death, discovery, growth, and all the conflicts a human being undergoes while living. These stories might surprise you. show less
This is a great collection of erotic fiction about bisexual people. The stories don't fall into the trap of having to have the characters always have threesomes (so the sex is always 'bi') or have angst fits over if they're 'really' gay or straight. Instead we get interesting well written smut about various bisexual people. Good stuff.
Solid start.
A little repetitive, but a very encouraging book. I've been considering getting into zines for a bit now.
