Product Description

The best of the best

The hottest of the hot

To mark its fifteenth anniversary, the top-selling erotica series achieves a scorching new climax with a special edition showcasing standout stories from the entire series as well as never before published pieces -- plus interviews with the authors and, for the first time, a hot and edgy piece from Susie Bright herself.

In Susie Bright's own contribution, "Story of O Birthday Party," she recounts her lover's elaborately orchestrated birthday gift: a re-creation of Pauline Réage's classic S/M tale with Susie at the center of the action. Joe Maynard enters a love/hate relationship with a two-million-dollar sex toy in "Fleshlight." Greta Christina's "Are We Having Sex Now or What?" asks the provocative question of what defines authentic sexual connection and experience.

Thoroughly electrifying -- and thrillingly eclectic -- the 2008 edition promises to open new doors with its exhilarating, equal-opportunity approach to erotic writing. Straight or gay, dominant or submissive, romantic or sadistic, Bright's selections run the gamut -- and push all the right buttons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Something For Everyone, May 16, 2008
If you're looking for a great sampling of the whole spectrum in modern erotica, this is it! Ms. Bright presents talented authors covering everything from humor to darkest fantasies. Don't miss the extensive listing of credits and websites at the end. WELL DONE !

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Great, But Not Terrible, March 19, 2008
I am a huge fan of short stories, and as such, read a number of anthologies from the genre. This was a sub section in the genre I had not tried, and was interested in trying as I had heard good things about it.

I was not very impressed. There were some good stories and some mediocre stories, along with a few that really did not make a lot of sense. The writing, with several exceptions, was not as steamy as I had expected and left a lot to be desired from the erotic standpoint.

I can safely say if this is the best of the best, I won't waste my money buying it again. Different people will react differently to this collection, so if you think you're interested, you may want to swing by a bookstore and read a couple of stories before spending hard earned cash on this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some are OK, January 25, 2009
By Spaz "Spaz" (Southern California) - See all my reviews
I just finished this book and I must say I was left a little disappointed. It started off great, the first few stories got my blood rushing and made me feel good then the middle totally fell flat on its face. The stories were dry and not very interesting. The end few picked up but didn't make a full recovery. All in all, this book has some good stories and more not so good ones. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like reading erotica that isn't so much action as it is just someone telling a boring story.
