Bushfire: Stories of Lesbian Desire

Some lesbian short fiction (overall erotic but some are very well-written & literary) from the early 1990s!

My very first lesbian erotica book. Very nineties.

Not to my taste I guess? I wanted to like this and I’ve always figured these multi author erotica books are a safe bet, but I think there was literally only one story I clicked with and that was the crazy sea witch ghost sex one lol.

The cover is awesome and the name is funny, but ultimately it fell flat on me.

I read a review of this book that said it's "very '90s", and I have to agree. I haven't read a new lesbian erotica book for a long time, but every story in this book screams the 1990s (or back to even the '80s or '70s), with all the sexual and "womyn" politics of the time. Some of the stories made me laugh because they were so ridiculous, but some were pretty decent.

Yucky yet not so yucky as to avoid being boring. Genuinely don’t get this kind of writing
