the art work is great. no doubt about it, but there is no mention of the fact that the whole book is in Black and White...no color...I really would not have bought it if i had known.

SEXY AND EROTIC ELVES, August 22, 2005
This review is from: Fairy Lust, Vol. 1 : Elvin Erotica (Paperback)
This book was my first exposure to the art of Melanie Klegerman Fersko and it came as a surprisingly enjoyable treat. These are not Santa's Elves (unless Hugh Hefner took over for Santa), nor are they the elves of popular fantasy fiction. These are gorgeous elves, pixies, and sprites...bright-eyed, with full pouty lips and bodies to die for. Inside we have 64 pages of black & white illustrations, some in finished pencils, others in slightly rougher pencil, all featuring sultry, sexy elven vixens as we've never seen them before. Fersko's art has a very playful edge to it with perhaps a slight Froud influence. Lush detail and fine line-work is a mark of these pieces as you'll find a number of smaller sprites and such, all fluttering in the background.
These are not just everyday Faerie-kind, but Melanie gives us faeries of all types. Some of my favorite pieces are a wild, barbaric-looking elf, primitive and fierce in animal skins and grasping a spear. Then there is a gypsy-like, lovely Elven Tarot card reader, revealing the fortunes of an unseen customer. Another stunning piece is the "Devil-elf" on page 43, clad in leather and fishnet stockings and sporting bat-like wings, this is true dominatrix! Continuing with that Dominatrix theme is a piece featuring Santa's latest helper, clad in Santa cap and whip, making sure the rest of the elves keep up on their toy-making.
There are also several bondage illustrations in the book: A stunning nude elf is bound while her captors delight in her helplessness; Another elf has her hands tied behind her back and on her knees; And one more bondage piece features a bound & gagged elf about to be given away as a gift. The bondage pieces are not harsh, in fact their sauciness reminds me more of old 30's and 40's pin-ups. One can surmise that male elves have these folded up in their wallets for inspiration as they go out to battle the Orc hordes!
Fersko takes a popular fantasy convention and tosses them into a new and sexy light!

Cute, pretty, and erotic female elves!, March 27, 2006
This review is from: Fairy Lust, Vol. 1 : Elvin Erotica (Paperback)
Melanie certainly has talent! Her pretty female elves are a joy to behold, with most of them wearing very little in the way of clothing! Also, I especially liked the occasional girl/girl theme along with the bits of bondage here and there.
If I didn't give this one five stars it's because I think Melanie's "erotica quotient" needs to be just a little bit higher. Too many of the drawings looked staged, almost as if the eleven girls are posing for a camera. And despite some flashes of eroticism, the overall images are somewhat tame with the same expressions and imagery. Still, not a bad collection just the same.
