Eric's Body

Rating:
Summary: haunting, unforgettable
Review: I've read and reread this haunting, poignant collection of erotic stories so many times I know some of the lines by heart. Jason Fury, probably the most enigmatic of current authors, weaves a haunting, intensely sensual spell with each of the 23 stories included. My favorite was "Forbidden Fruit" which studies the surreal relationship between Fury and a mental patient. EVen better is "Miracle on 55th Street" were Jason is a star stripper who has an affair with a young cop. Why Fury hasn't published anymore stories is a mystery and tragedy. Bravo to gay erotica's very own Colette.

Summary: Funny! Sad! Hot!
Review: My older brother who went to Auburn University gave me his battered copy of 'Eric's Body' five years ago year and I fell in love with it. I brought this new reprint and love it. Some of the stories, like 'Bastard of the County' and 'Leader of the Pack' are very funny. I died laughing. Some of them are pretty heart-breaking, like 'Forbidden Fruit' and 'Miracle on 55th Street.' My favorite was the poignant 'Last of the Seven Beauties' It was heart-breaking, funny and sexy as hell. A real shocker was 'Animal', where the brutal hustler finally gets his. 'Janu' was something else, a fantasy tale about Fury's affair with two gods. I love this book. The best story in the whole collection is the title story, 'ERic's Body.' Wonderful and sexy and surreal. A great read!
