Question: how did "The Reluctant Dom" by Tymber Dalton ever get on this list? None of the guideline themes apply to this book.

For that matter, IMO, wrong to include the following:
"Lover Reborn" (as someone already noted)
"Under Mr. Nolan's Bed" by Selena Kitt (taboo, yes, but that's not a theme listed here)
"Comfort Object" by Annabel Joseph (BDSM, yes but NOT dark)
"Surrender" by Lora Leigh (you're kidding, right? it's tamer than "Comfort Object")
"A Good Student" by Elliot Mabeuse (BDSM, yes but NOT dark)
"Heidi and the Kaiser" by Selena Kitt (hell, this is BDSM-lite, especially for SK)
"Sinful" by Charlotte Featherstone (oh c'mon! it's HQN Spice)
"Wicked Burn" by Beth Kery (sex was hot but relationship didn't involve BDSM)
+ 2 Gena Showalter books

I hope someone can clean up the list. Great to have handy and updated as new books come out.

I think the creator of this list has the ability to clean it up. I often refer to these lists when looking to read a book in that particular category. It really sucks when people can't follow simple directions and completely screw up the list. Other books that shouldn't be here include.
"Fifty Shades" Nothing dark or dubious, just a control freak
"The Darkest Seduction" that's just a joke
"Exit to Eden" No where near dark, It was all consensual
"Nobody's Hero" BDSM in the confines of a club, totally safe

Sep 29, 2012 09:07AM

"Bared to You" They are engaged in a completely consensual non-BDSM relationship

"Club Shadowlands" completely consensual inside the club

"Mercy" completely consensual - although there is a disturbing scene that damages their relationship for quite a while

"Dark Citadel" pretty much completely consensual club environment

"Comfort Object" there is some coercion to get her to take the job but she could have refused

"Safeword Matte" like all of Candace Blevins's books the level of BDSM can make some uncomfortable but everything is utterly consensual (in this book for instance, she wants to play without a safeword and he refuses)

I am never sure whether to laugh or cry at this particular list.

Yeah, I figured but I only read the first 2 in MOS series so didn't want to assume mind of whoever posted it.

Yep, exactly why I left it alone. That one part was controversial but I thought things iffy for a stretch of their relationship.

Michael wrote: "..."Comfort Object" there is some coercion to get her to take the job but she could have refused

Ha! I thought exact thing! But then I considered it was outside the realm of sex.

As for crying or laughing, I'd say both. Definitely not scientific but a tiny clue into the how and why of the Fifty Shades of Fiasco.

Huh, re-reading my original post, I can tell I pooped out at the end after typing all those quotes and parentheses. Need more coffee...

3 of the Shadowlands books could qualify as Dark Erotica
- the third, because of her past relationship
- the fifth, the actions of the slavery ring
- the sixth, because of her attempt to recovery from the slavery

Of course, both "To Command and Collar" and "Slave" are actually consensual relationships for most of the books - although a big part of both stories is her coming to terms with that fact.

There are tons of books on this list that really do not qualify for this list.

The Megan Hart books for instance, those are not BDSM - nor do they contain any of the elements listed, but they are dark reads.

I do agree that it is a dark read, just not a dark BDSM read.

It gets tricky even if you do read a lot. Personally, I would never ever vote for Comfort Food based on the criteria and yet it ranks 3rd on the list.

Some books are easy to remove. Others are more open to interpretation.

Quoting from above, "I do agree that it is a dark read, just not a dark BDSM read." I think it is a great example of Stockholm Syndrome, but I don't think that makes it BDSM or even Dark BDSM. But again, I realize I hold the minority opinion on that.

These is not a dark BDSM only list. Forced consent, and dubious consent are also qualifiers so that opens up a lot more books to the list that have no BDSM in them.

In regards to Dirty by Megan Hart... it's been a long time since I read it, but the non-con is a memory, right? We don't read that it happens in the book, right? Although this book is emotionally dark, I would not consider a memory of a rape to be enough to have it on the list, but that's just me.

You're right, It's a memory but she tells the story in detail to Dan so I felt like I experienced it with her.

Any book containing abduction, rape, dubious consent, forced seduction would qualify. There are plenty Dark erotica books that are not based on the BDSM lifestyle. That's what I was hoping to find with this list but as you can see...

There are a heap of straight BDSM books. I don't think consensual BDSM is ever called dark erotica?
I would have thought all the Club Mephisto books were simply hard core BDSM TPE relationships too but Joellen tagged them dub con so I'm not sure now.

All Candace Blevins are consensual BDSM. I think she'd be horrified to be classed in dark erotica where consent is really iffy if not downright gone.

But ...I just reread the requirement of the list and 'heavy' S/m is allowed so that leaves the gate wide open for adding many BDSM books. It would've made more sense to not have those included, I think. According to this definition, I have friends who engage in darkly erotic acts and that's plain odd, and incorrect.

Maybe dark erotica isn't clearly defined as yet?

If you look in the back of one of Annabel's book, she classifies her books as "Erotic Romance" with the exception of the first two CM novels - they get classified as "Erotica." Personally, I think where they lie on the Con/Dub Con line is part of what the reader has to decide. Burn For You - definitely a Romance.

I am not sure what actually horrifies Candace and I am not sure that I want to find out. Because her novels tend to test my limits as a reader.

If you look in the back of one..."
LOL I know what you mean. I beta read Safeword Quinacridone. It was terribly kinky but, to me, if it's consensual it isn't 'dark erotica'.

This is wikimedia's definition:
Erotic horror, alternately noted as Dark Erotica, is a term applied to works of horror fiction in which sensual or sexual imagery (or even descriptions of the physical act of sexual intercourse) are blended with horrific overtones or story elements.

I don't think I quite agree with that definition.

But I do agree that the Con/Dub Con line is sometimes best decided by readers.

Maybe the problem here is the different levels of readers... if you have just started reading BDSM, I could see how you *might* consider some of Annabel's books as "dark".

I know my idea of "dark" has changed significantly over the years :-)

That's the trouble with these lists...

Yes, Bookie Nookie. Absolutely. After I wrote the above, I saw the aptness of saying horror plus erotica is dark erotica because what is horror to each of us will vary depending on how we perceive the story. The concept of horror adapts to each reader's perception.

And so a book about a loving sadist who listens to safe words may be dark to one reader while to another dark is a book about a man dragging away someone and doing unspeakable things to their body even though they are screaming no.

I also saw that consent isn't always the issue. A story where a woman allows a vampire to drain her of her blood and slowly kill her while she experiences extreme ecstasy is both consensual and horror and dark erotica because the reader can see she is dying.

That fascinates me. Depending on whose eyes we see through - the woman, vampire, or if we just be aware of ourselves as the reader watching a woman die, the story changes. Dark erotica has so much more potential than pure romance.

Anyway, back to the list, I guess most of the books on here might be dark to someone.
