Newly updated, this everyday-free anthology of mature literary erotic fiction includes a complete short story 'Sleeping Dogs and Southern Comfort’ as well excerpts from the up-coming collection 'Stories Out of School', along with generous selections from the novels 'A Song for the Girl with the Almond Eyes' and 'The Seven Seductions'. Finally, for dessert, a collection of bawdy limericks.
The novels and stories excerpted here began life as imagined conversations. What would smart, sexy, articulate people talk about if they were free to think and say whatever they liked? Smart people want pretty much the same thing as everybody else; they just want to deconstruct their favorite episodes of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' or quote William Butler Yeats while in the process of getting it, undoubtedly bandying about one of the great Irish poet’s most famous pronouncements while gently maneuvering their partners into bed; “sex and death are the only things that can interest a serious mind.”
These stories have the sex part covered, and one of them even delves into death at the end. The characters have decidedly serious minds, always actively engaged, yet most of them are people you might imagine hanging out with and talking to, or fantasize about making love with. They are the sort you wish you knew in real life, and not just because they don’t mind if you fantasize about making love to them—in fact, they hope you will.
