Erato: Flash Fiction
Short, short tales from 50 experienced storytellers and hot new talent–including 2 writers recognized by the 2021 Inaugural Good Sex Awards–bring readers to Paleolithic caves and far-flung planets, seducing them with magic, mythology, and dreams while wryly acknowledging the reality that sometimes sex requires stretching. Alongside old favorites like temperature play and strap-ons, have you considered the erotic potential of shaving or a handful of coins?
Expand your erotic imagination with these smart, memorable stories. No need to “skip to the good parts” in this flash collection: every moment will caress the senses and linger in the mind, while being short enough to read over a cup of coffee or during a bus ride.
REVIEWS
“What an incredible, eye-opening journey this was for me as a reader; Erotica about people of all expressions, as well as orcs, goblins, mutants and (my favourite) an android!” – Review by LuzDLuna on Twitter
“Multiple times I found myself thinking not just that something was interesting or hot, but that it was literature. Erato is the book you give someone if you want to prove that erotica has artistic merit.” – Review by Adriana Ravenlust at OfSexAndLove.com
“If the rest of their stuff is as good as Erato, you should seriously check them out… Cishet protagonists are in the minority, which is refreshing, and the mix of contemporary, speculative, historical and just thoroughly strange themes included here are likely to give any reader stuff to think about, stuff to linger over and, of course, stuff to inspire a spot of self-care and/or erotic interaction with available and willing playmates.” – Zak Jane Keir of Dirty Sexy Words
“I found a few gems in there, stories that were very hot but also made me laugh and/or have Emotions TM, and that I’ll definitely reread. In any case, even for the stories I didn’t like, a very refreshing and delightful diversity of characters, genres, genders, tropes, sexualities, settings, kinks, tones – definitely recommend if you’re looking for Something Else in terms of erotica!” – Review by scriblitula on Goodreads
