Product Description
Here in one electric volume is the finest erotic writing of 2002–2003, from writers around the world. These sensual and daring stories explore the erotic experience in all its weird and wonderful variety—tough and tender, mainstream and far out. This year’s anthology features outstanding works from the pens of Patrick Califia, Molly Weatherfield, Alison Tyler, Thomas S. Roche, M. Christian, Mark Timlin, and O’Neil De Noux. Featuring intimate and titillating tales of, among others, how housework proves to be more seductive than sex and how a girl's illustrated body unveils the secret of her sexual life, The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica 4 is a must-have new collection that promises excitement and inspiration in equal measure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, if a bit prosaic, October 3, 2005

By	FlyByNight - See all my reviews

While I'm a big fan of erotica, and have enjoyed several of the Mammoth books over the years, I found myself thinking "same old, same old" while perusing this volume. Sure there are gems from many of my favorite authors (Rachel Kramer Bussel, Simon Sheppard, Cheyenne Blue, Cecilia Tan), but there also were a few that didn't float my boat. Real standouts included the amazing "Swimmer's Body" by respected author, Patrick Califia, and the funny "The End of Daphne Greenwood's Travel Career" by Tara Alton.

Overall, a good, solid read that won't disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for the Wings alone., January 23, 2007

By	S. Seaman "hypocritical critic" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I haven't waded all the way through this book yet, because when reading erotica I seem to have to stop and... take breaks fairly often. But what I've read so far has been excellent. Like any major erotica anthology, there will always be some stories that work for you and some that don't, but this is an overwhelmingly good collection. Especially the first story in the book (by new writer Gannon), which frankly is worth the cost of the book on its own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Variety is the spice...of life , February 12, 2005

By	mambolady (WI USA) - See all my reviews

If you want variety in your erotica reading...then this is the
book for you...including getting a tattoo...celebrating American holidays..in most unusual ways..and more.
I especially enjoyed Mike Kimera's American Holidays....my favorite being Memorial Day...and WHAT a celebration.
I have read his work before...on ERWA and Clean Sheets...and do enjoy his stories.There is sex...of course...
but also ...substance....a good story line is always there. Read....and enjoy !!!!!
