Cream: The Best of the Erotica Readers and Writers Association

by Lisabet Sarai, Madelynne Ellis (Contributor)

Cream is a selection of short fiction previously published on the website of the renowned Erotica Readers and Writers Association (www.erotica-readers.com). For ten years, ERWA has offered free, high quality erotic writing by both renowned authors and newcomers. Every month the site publishes a new set of stories and "flash fiction" (erotica under 100 words). Each month's stories are selected by ERWA editors from dozens of submissions to "Storytime," a subscription-based email list and writing workshop. Now, for the first time, Cream collects the most arousing and original work that has appeared on ERWA. It includes an introduction by Lisabet and Adrienne Benedicks, owner of ERWA, and of course, a story by Lisabet. Five different theme sections such as "La Petite Mort," "Erotic Sci Fi", "A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words", "Swinging and Swapping," and "Humorous Erotica," with several stories in each, comprise the bulk of the book. Also included is a non-theme section of general erotica, and a section of "flashers."

[Mike Kimera · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Erotic Writers and Readers Association ERWA is the best online writers' workshop I've ever seen. The standard of the work is very high and the focus is on helping each other to keep getting better. Every month ERWA showcases selected stories from the workshop. The best are kept in the ERWA Treasure Chest which has hundreds of stories in it.

Lisabet Sarai rose to the challenge of selecting 31 stories and 13 flashers (fiction of less than 200 words)that show the wide spectrum of themes and writing styles that ERWA nurtures. The only thing these stories have in common is the quality of the writing. I can't choose favourites from this collection. My advice is read them all. If you want to read erotic fiction that sets the pace for the genre, buy this book.

If you want a sample of the work, read my contribution "Up In The Morning". This story is about an older married man who still wakes each morning with an erection and the choices he makes in dealing with it.

Most of these were better written than some I've read. I would recommend this.
