The Best American Erotica 2007 [Paperback]

Susie Bright (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 6, 2007 | Series: Best American Erotica

Erotic Reading That Satisfies

Every Sexual Appetite

In the fourteenth edition of this seductive series, erotica's veterans and up-and-coming new writers join forces to explore how tantalizing crossing the so-called Lolita gap between youth and middle age can be.

Kathryn Harrison explores the story of a psychiatrist whose sexual affairs with a young client have an unexpected consequence; Dennis Cooper trails an extraordinary hustler working his older johns; and Jessica Cutler gives lessons on how a young woman can take down all the politicians in Washington with just the crook of her pretty little finger.

Guided by the genius of editor Susie Bright, The Best American Erotica 2007 will bring an exciting new climax to readers discovering that they love erotica -- and to those already hooked.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Themes, September 3, 2008

If you enjoy story content, and not just 'stroke content', you'll likely enjoy this anthology. I was pleasantly surprised by a few stories with new themes not seen before. I particularly enjoyed 'Fledgling', and found it to be outside of the box from what we usually see in erotica. 'The Rock Wall' was perhaps my favorite story - I'm a sucker for the Daddy/girl theme. Other stories that warrant special mention are 'Dream Machine' and 'Wish Girls'. This anthology definitely goes on my "keeper" shelf!

This review is from: The Best American Erotica 2007 (Paperback)

The stories are well crafted and original. However, I found them to be dry, and not very exciting. I only liked a few of the stories, probably three, if that many.

There are a couple of interesting stories here, but on the whole, not enough to recommend. Very ordinary writing and ideas. Not stimulating on any level. You can certainly find something better to spend your time reading.
