Summary: Best New Erotica? I don't think so!
Review: 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.

Summary: Something for Everybody
Review: You just never know what you're going to read in this enormous book -- everything from downright awful and stupid to truly wonderful. M. Christian scores (as usual), as does Alison Tyler, so it was fun to read overall. What I like best about this book (and the ones that came before it) is the inclusion of some new writers -- people who might be new on the scene, which can often be a refreshing diversion from the usual stuff. Definitely worth the money. With a book this big, you can't expect to like everything!
