Editorial Reviews

Review
"Cunningly crafted, polished performances that are enticingly readable." -- 3 AM Magazine

"Funny, sexy, hot, clever, witty, erotic, provocative, poignant and just plain smart—this anthology is an embarrassment of riches." -- M.J. Rose, author of Lip Service and The Halo Effect

"Wicked sheds new light on the Great and the Famous, reminding us all of their essentially sexual appeal." -- The Erotic Review (London)

Product Description
Fantasy encounters with Sigmund Freud, Joan Collins, Warren Beatty, Rudolph Valentino, Chairman Mao, Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and God (among others)...

What made Lincoln’s hat stand up? Did Chairman Mao keep a Little Black Book? "Seduction" follows Warren Beatty on his tireless erotic journey, with characters like Joan Collins and Joyce Carol Oates chiming in on his legendary prowess. In "The Ballad of Scott and Zelda," Maxim Jakubowski traces the passion and the slow, bitter disconnection of those idols of the Jazz Age. "Love, Zora," by Fiona Zedde, is a graceful, poetic evocation of a young woman’s affair with Zora Neale Hurston.

Editor Mitzi Szereto brings together a playful and varied collection, not only gratifying our curiosity about acknowledged sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe and Rudolph Valentino, but exciting readers with the imaginary adventures of such unlikely figures as Toulouse-Lautrec, Sigmund Freud, and God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly engaging and original -- a fine collection, June 11, 2005

By	Deb Dee (Providence, R.I.) - See all my reviews

Like Szereto's other books, she's once again hit the jackpot with Wicked. The concept here is speculative erotic fiction, with famous people through history as the focal point. It's easy to see that the contributors have done their work, incorporating a sufficient amount of fact with a healthy helping of sexy speculation. The subjects range from Rudolph Valentino and Marilyn Monroe to Salvador Dali, Elvis Presley and the man who assassinated President McKinley. This is erotic fiction that is intelligent, original, polished and arousing. Unlike most anthologies in the erotica line, there is nothing cliched or redundant here. It's quality all the way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Erotic Fiction, May 31, 2005

By	David Bailie - See all my reviews

I've read previous anthologies by this editor and I always return to her work because I know it will deliver the goods. The stories she selects are compelling, superbly written, and aimed at an intelligent audience. The erotic content ranges from the seductive to the powerful. And, unlike many other anthologies, the stories here will stay with you for months after you've read them.
Wicked: Sexy Tales of Legendary Lovers covers a broad time-scale and a wide range of historical legends. Imagining each of these personalities as a sexual creature provides an insight into their lives that is seldom considered. This title takes pride of place on my bookshelf and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting, entertaining and erotic read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST-READ anthology, June 13, 2005

By	Paul B. (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

I've never come across anything quite like this book. Editor Mitzi Szereto is already well-known for her innovative concepts, and she's REALLY outdone herself with this one. She's gathered together a pool of talented writers from across America and Europe who definitely know their stuff. There's no hackneyed porn writing going on here -- just top of the line erotic fiction. Excellent. Truly excellent.
