Review
Graceful, smart, soulful and sexy, Indigo’s novel would surely top Oprah’s Book Club list...if her list included steamy erotica. -- Toys in Babeland

I felt that I'd found friends, lovers, and teachers in the characters who populate these shimmering tales. -- Clean Sheets Magazine, February, 2002

These were my bedtime stories every night for two weeks ... -- Erotica Readers Association, March, 2002

Product Description
Oysters Among Us follows the erotic and soulful adventures of a group of friends and family who live in Boulder and San Francisco, as they begin to answer the important questions of this millennium:

Can you be too rich or have too much sex? Does it even count if it's only online sex? If you appear naked at the mall, is it always necessary to sing Amazing Grace? Are sex quests better than everyday vision quests? Is it better to dance with snakes, or to follow the instructions on a Mary Kay sign when making love? What happens when grandpa starts counting back through his lovers and recreating the Book of Love? Why isn't the Baseball Position described in the Kama Sutra? What do people actually bring to a Better Than Sex party? And in the end, when everyone has partied in the Blue Room until dancing naked in the rain seems an everyday activity, and has had enough sex to last at least through the weekend and has reached toward their dreams, does the "boom" on the final flight represent danger, or the erotic future in Rome?

An imaginative romp through real life and dreams, with some of the hottest writing around that can make you laugh at the same time it grabs for your libido, Susannah Indigo's "Oysters Among Us" is pure erotic entertainment, gracefully layered with profound truth and exploration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous writing, January 22, 2002

By	M. Anderson (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This is one of those books that writers like me crave - the kind of book where you're marking pages and phrases, and getting inspiration and ideas all the time. I don't write erotica, but if I did, this is what I'd want to write. Sexy, spare, meaningful, humorous, and with a flow that makes you want to re-read it as soon as you're finished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and fun, a great read, December 29, 2001

By	David J. Henderson (London) - See all my reviews

Susannah Indigo has a powerful fictional voice, and this book highlights it at its best. Her dream sequences can compete with anything the movies have ever shown us, and her characters are completely believable, even when they're secretly rich or have strange coins appearing before them out of nowhere. You don't read many erotica books that include Thoreau's "to do" list, or a brilliant lesbian therapist decorating the equator with Barbie dolls, or a grandfather confessing to his lifetime of affairs. I've been happily following Indigo's bright and often funny writing on-line and in antholgies for a few years now, and am glad to see her work finally appear in this form. It's the best erotic book of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy and fun!, December 15, 2001

By	"cwofb" (Boston) - See all my reviews

This is a very entertaining book! It's very different from other erotica books. It's more like a real novel about real people, except that theres lots of great sex in it! My favorite story was 'Blue Rooms' about the couple who meet on-line and then she hides in the closet. I wished this book never ended and want to read more!!
