5.0 out of 5 stars Short, sweet, sexy science fiction anthology, September 20, 1997

By	[e-mail] (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews

This is a slim volume of short stories which merge the worlds of science fiction, erotica, and BDSM, using the best of all three. It does so without sacrificing the usual tropes of one or more genres. It's an excellent first introduction to Circlet Press (it has a price that's hard to beat). The characters are well-rounded within a short space of time, the plots are substantial and exist as more than a vehicle to bracket sex scenes. The stories got me aroused; they also evoked powerful emotions. I'd recommend _Telepaths Don't Need Safewords_ to anyone -- and have. I let a romance-reading friend, who never reads straight erotica or science fiction, read my copy and she wanted more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent writing, May 27, 2000

By	mellion108 (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

I've always liked Cecilia Tan's writing which is almost poetic at times. This little pamphlet collection of short stories focuses on BDSM, fantasy, and erotica with just a splash of horror for good measure. "Telepaths Don't Need Safewords" is self-explanatory: if you can read each other's minds, there's no need to establish a safe word! "Cat Scratch Fever" is a beautiful, haunting tale (no pun intended) of a rather interesting love match. And "Heart's Desire" tracks Cleo's attraction to and love for another's sub. All in all, this collection is beautifully written, entertaining, and downright erotic. Tan's skills shine throughout. I enjoyed reading this and am quite glad I ordered it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful read., May 11, 2000

By	TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

With less science fiction or fantasy elements than is usual in a Circlet Press book, this small collection of short erotica is nontheless very entertaining and arousing. Once more the stories cover several different orientations providing almost anyone with something to enjoy.
