Monocle (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Fantasies we dare not tell?

They lurk under our beds. They hide in our closets. They wait behind
barely open doors. Imagine one hundred short vignettes; scenes of sexual
risk, entrapment, surrender and coercion meant to delightfully
frighten and titillate.

From the seducer to the seduced, from the hunter and the hunted, from
the ravishing monsters you don't dare mention, you cannot escape. From
the shape-shifting world of dreams to the mundane turned upside-down,
be ready to look under your bed, in your closet and behind every
door. These are stories to read with a flashlight under the safety of
your sheets. Some may be your dreams. Some will become your dreams.

Explore the eroticism of the unexpected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling, Overwhelming and Deeply Erotic, February 8, 2010

Inch by written inch, this book pulls you almost physically down the winding staircase to a very dark, very erotic world where everything you've ever feared and fantasized about is possible. The ultra-short story form is a perfect framework for this lush, sticky, vertiginous world of the illicit. From close dark alleyway to sterile corporate boardroom, there is an inevitable sense that whatever your darkest, most secret fantasy is, it is just about to be revealed on the next screen of this Kindle book.

I have to also say, the shortness of the pieces is a perfect marriage with the Kindle platform. Just don't read it where someone can see you blush.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary but very, very sexy, January 23, 2010

This book frightened and aroused me simultaneously. It was the most unusual feeling I have ever experienced and one that I can't wait to enjoy again. I read the entire book in one day, for once I had entered the strange, sinister and completely sexual world Monocle had created I found that I couldn't escape from it, nor at any time did I wish to. This is a great read for fans of submission fantasies, bondage, Sci fi, and the darker side of erotica.

This review is from: Nightmares and Visions: 100 Flashes of Dark Erotica (Kindle Edition)

This had the potential for being a really good "Dark Erotic" compellation book. The author had some really unusual ideas and they were really erotic. The problem I had with this book is that the author would put the idea out there but would not follow through with the results. Ex. - the author would tell a sensual story and then it would end like "and then he entered me" - and that's the end of that story. Then we would start another story - you would be excited and it would end about the same way. It reminds me of reading an erotic sexual scene and you would read the lovers lead up to the mind numbing sex - and then fade out. This would be a great book if she would finish each story. It's like having hot sex and not being able to climax. I would give it a 5 for original stories but give it a 1 for the let down of it being only ½ stories. So I will go with a 3.

Side note: I actually found a "Dark Erotic" novel that tells the whole story and leaving you feeling very satisfied! I did a review on it right after this one if you look at my profile page.
