'Fairy Tale Lust' is something different. Yes, some of the tales are set in a faraway land of long, long ago, but there are also contemporary tales so realistically told they might be happening next door, right now.(Read the rest of the review here.)
Fudge Jumbles, the awesome website of bargains and entertainment in Hampton Roads, covered my reading at Bean There Cafe on July 9 and had this to say:
The book is a compilation of classic fairy tales {18 stories in a little under 200 pages} that have been reworked with a modern & erotic twist.
As if the reading weren't enough, there was also a live body painting demonstration by Jeff Edney of Jeff Edney Studios. The BRAVE model {whose name currently escapes me} wore only a latex bikini bottom, pasties and a smile as she stood in front of the HUGE windows of Bean There for over an hour while Jeff transformed her into a 'pixie'.
Finally, Fairy Tale Lust got a brief mention in the East Bay Express and quoted A.D.R. Forte's sexy quest fantasy "The Stone Room":
New from Berkeley-based Cleis Press is a raft of erotica anthologies, including Fast Girls: Erotica for Women, Girl Crush: Women's Erotic Fantasies, and Fairy Tale Lust: Erotic Fantasies for Women. One tale in that last volume begins: "James went seeking his fortune. ... He'd been gifted with a well-made sword, one of notable length and girth."
