Ok, I'm biased because I have a story in here...
It's an anthology of erotic tales, all women writers, and we were invited to contribute whatever we liked - no genre restricitons. Mine is a sci-fi setting based on a weird dream I'd had.
There's quite a lot of lesbian stuff and a fair bit of fisting in other stories. Most memorable for me was Margaret Atwood's story about rape fantasies - disturbingly funny and very, very clever.

This was actually a pretty well done novel, it is an eclectic mix of erotica, and I believe it definitely has a little somthin' for everybody some of them are a little hard to swallow (at least for me) and more often than not you had to read it over it was so good!
All in all it's worth the time, you'll enjoy it.

A collection of erotica from contemporary female authors. I picked it up because Joyce Carol Oates is one of the authors, and I like her writing. The stories were all well-written, but I enjoyed some more than others and there were some that I didn't enjoy at all.
