Kristina Wright (ed.), Fairy Tale Lust: Erotic Fantasies for Women (Cleis Press, 2010)
What exactly is there to say about a book called Fairy Tale Lust: Erotic Fantasies for Women that the title doesn't already tell you? Well, I guess that question kind of answers itself, if you've been an Internet user long enough to remember the early, wild-west days of the alt.sex.stories.* family of newsgroups. There's a lot of bad, bad erotica, and porn masquerading as erotica, floating around out there. The...more

Several months back I read about a new trend in erotica that involved re-imagined fairy tales with risque scenes. I liked the idea, a lot, and so when I had an opportunity to review Fairy Tale Lust, I happily took it on. Kristina Wright has assembled a good collection of short stories, with an emphasis on ‘short’; there are 18 stories in a little under 200 pages. Normally I would grouse about the story length, but let’s face it, in an erotica collection I’m not looking for character development....more
Anthology. One of the better anthologies and the stories by Craig Sorensen, Alegra Verde and Charlotte Stein were the best. I've added them to authors I would like to read more from.
1. Obedient Wife by Delilah Devlin. I know short stories are short, but I wish this was a little longer. Pretty good story otherwise. ***
2. How the Little Mermaid Got her Tale Back by Andrea Dale. Hmm, started out good but then forcing her into extreme public orgasms at a restaurant, while she tries to hide and he as...more

Fairy Tale Lust is a collection of eighteen erotic stories based--with varying degrees of faithfulness--on fairy tales. The stories are very short, making it easy to keep the book on your nightstand and read a complete story just before bed. Most are set in modern times, though there are a few set in “once upon a time.” The pairings are largely m/f with a few f/f and f/m/f.
From a literary standpoint, the best of the bunch are Aurelia T. Evans’ “Frosted Glass” (The Snow Queen) and Shanna Germain’...more

Reviewing anthologies is a hard job because it’s so difficult to give each contribution their proper spotlight, and Fairy Tale Lust is no different. Here we have 18 erotic encounters of a fantastical nature, each as amazing as the one before it, making my job as reviewer really tough. Therefore, I’m just going to spotlight my top two picks in descending order (but trust me, every encounter is worth a read!).

This is as good as a collection of erotica gets. I loved almost every single story, even the ones that didn't mesh with my personal kinks. Some stories played obviously off well-known fairy tales, while others created their own world in the proper spirit. It's m/f, so people should be aware it's not going to feature other types of relationships -- however, no collection can be all things to all people. Standout stories for me included How the Little Mermaid Got Her Tail Back, Ducking, The Pub Ow...more
It was an erotica anthology. I don't have much to say about it beyond that. As with most anthologies, the quality varied heavily from one story to the next. A lot of the stories were only thinly related to the theme, while some followed it to the detriment of their subject matter. A lot of the sex was hot and well-written, but in the middle of a confusing or too-dark story that turned a titillating subject into a gross one.
Oh yummy...this book was totally titillating reading. I found the reworking of classic fairy tale themes as sexy tales so much fun. Each story was written by a separate author. I especially loved the way that Sleeping Beauty was handled. It combined two of my favorite genres!
Wish I could say I liked it a lot. I did like some of the stories but they were overshadowed & forgotten when I got to stories too deviant for me, stories that made me SUPER uncomfortable to read.
I'm am so NOT into BDSM, m/m or f/f in any pairing or combination. Straight-up hetero m/ f ALONE provides all the thrills I'm ever gonna need. I'm not hatin' I just feel so far out of my comfort zone with material like this, I really don't enjoy it!

Nice, little more literary, erotica anthology. Particularly enjoyed: Sleep Tight by Janine Ashbless, Her Hair is a Net, Woven by Shanna Germain, and Frosted Glass by Aurelia T. Evans
Sheesh...this sounded like such a good premise, but I was very disappointed. The stories were very short, and only a few of them were very interestingly presented. Phoo...
Some of the stories in this I really enjoyed, however most were ones I didn't. I thought this book was nice to read a short story here and there between books. If you're looking for something that won't take long and you don't want to start something new and just want a quick read then I recommend this for that. You can read a short story and put it down for the next time. However like I said most of the stories I just didn't care for. Some of them I felt like things were missing, like descripti...more
Great collection of erotic fairy tales. I really enjoyed The Obedient Wife by Delilah Devlin, Sleep Tight by Janine Ashbless, and Gildi and the Unwieldy Ineffectual Committee of Bears by Jeremy Edwards

So far, this is one of the best collections of "Fairy tales for grownups" (particularly women). Some stories really live up to the book's promise of steamy tales; others almost make it--and then, well, have to fake it.
I read a tale or two now and then between the other books I'm reading. I can't say I got all worked up as I would with a full-length novel, but overall, it kept me entertained. And although some made me wonder if this copy would wind up on my swap list, others have enticed me to ha...more

Fairy tales for grown-ups. Erotic stories by some of the best authors, including one of my favorites, Delilah Devlin.
Stories were very boring and had little to no imagination.
Some of the stories were "fun" others just left me going "huh?"
Some of these stories are absolutely gorgeous.
Meh.

sexy tales loosely based on fairy tales... like... sleeping beauty being kissed and touched by the handyman that is hired to clear a path to the door of brambles and check on the structural integrity of the house... and when she awakens to the climax he is giving her, her fangs pop out (of course sleeping beauty is a vampire.

I enjoyed "how the mermaid got her tail back," "Ducking," and "sleep tight." I did not like "Big Bad Wolf (an excerpt)" just thought it could have been written better, but it was only and excerpt.
On a whole they were entertaining. I enjoy retold fairy tales anyway.
