Product Description

Here in one electric volume is the finest erotic writing of 2002–2003, from writers around the world. These sensual and daring stories explore the erotic experience in all its weird and wonderful variety—tough and tender, mainstream and far out. This year's anthology features outstanding works from the pens of Patrick Califia, Molly Weatherfield, Alison Tyler, Thomas S. Roche, M. Christian, Mark Timlin, and O'Neil De Noux. Featuring intimate and titillating tales of, among others, how housework proves to be more seductive than sex and how a girl's illustrated body unveils the secret of her sexual life, The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica 4 is a must-have new collection that promises excitement and inspiration in equal measure.

Customer Reviews

Compelling. Couldn't put it down!5
The clock will magically go round, you'll wonder where time went and your only regret might be that some of the tales are not longer and more detailed. Many read like GOOD MYSTERIES. The ending only becomes apparent in the very last words. Not a BEDTIME STORIES piece. You won't want to sleep once you open this piece! Sit back and enjoy!

Worth it for the Wings alone.5
I haven't waded all the way through this book yet, because when reading erotica I seem to have to stop and... take breaks fairly often. But what I've read so far has been excellent. Like any major erotica anthology, there will always be some stories that work for you and some that don't, but this is an overwhelmingly good collection. Especially the first story in the book (by new writer Gannon), which frankly is worth the cost of the book on its own.

Interesting, if a bit prosaic3
While I'm a big fan of erotica, and have enjoyed several of the Mammoth books over the years, I found myself thinking "same old, same old" while perusing this volume. Sure there are gems from many of my favorite authors (Rachel Kramer Bussel, Simon Sheppard, Cheyenne Blue, Cecilia Tan), but there also were a few that didn't float my boat. Real standouts included the amazing "Swimmer's Body" by respected author, Patrick Califia, and the funny "The End of Daphne Greenwood's Travel Career" by Tara Alton.

Overall, a good, solid read that won't disappoint.
