Bitten Peach is an eleven-story anthology capturing the essence of the deliciously euphemistic Oriental world of men making love to other men, arranged in a chronological sequence covering a 2,200-year period. These are stories that go beyond the random act of sexual release between men. They offer more complex and context-richer studies of gathering age-old themes, exotic settings, and all-so-human characters up into the Floating World of the Orient in which men give themselves to other men--some more freely than others--for something in return, whether it is for money, position, power, survival, honor, service, devotion--or, not all that rarely, really, in unconditional love.
Warnings: This title contains graphic language, m/m sex.
Erin Schmidt, Rainbow Reviews
"Bitten Peach is at once both a fascinating cross-cultural sensual experience and a guilty pleasure. Author habu draws on a rich and fascinating set of hidden traditions from China and Japan, offering a glimpse into a unique, forbidden world… The eleven stories in this anthology portray a full range of human emotions, and some end much more happily than others. All are delightfully explicit, and all will satisfy on some level… Each story is like a long-forgotten historical treasure, waiting to be uncovered."
