Steps (Kosinski, Jerzy)16 reviews
Jerzy Kosinski

Grove Press, 1997

Admit it: you're filthy, too

+ STEPS
+ JUST A BIT OVER THE TOP FOR MY TASTE.

Riveting, gripping, amazing. If art is, in part, the dance between artist and audience, then Steps is art in its highest form. I found myself dancing & reacting in ways I wish I hadn't; found myself physically aroused by portions of the text that I found intellectually / psychologically ...

The Torture Garden15 reviews
Octave Mirbeau; Alvah C. Bessie

Juno Books, 2000

duality

+ Scathing view of humanity and its coarse, ignorant brutality
+ You want some anarchistic deconstruction of reality?

This is one of the few books I've read which continually resurface in my consciousness. To say that this is a book of depravity, lust, and horror is to miss the point. It is such a book, but it is also a commentary on the natural evolution of social order and the dualistic nature of society. The ...

The Passion of New Eve (Virago Modern Classics)6 reviews
Angela Carter

Little, Brown Book Group, 1992

Bizarre But Brilliant!

+ The Ultimate Literary Femdom Novel
+ uncompromising and provoking

This is the most outrageous Angela Carter novel I've read. Just when you begin to settle into one bizarre plot, Carter turns everything upside down and takes the story down a completely different avenue. She still manages, however, to bring all of her seemingly disparate plot elements together at ...

Crazy Babe12 reviews

Goliath Books, 2003

THE TITLE PULLED ME IN; BUT IT WAS THE PICTURES THAT MADE ME WANT TO STAY!

+ Misjudged book
+ Well it is a book

How can you resist a title like this? CRAZY BABE, I love the fact that the photographer points out that these girls aren't actually "crazy," they are sane girls that feign craziness. (Aren't they all?) Yes, but the girls I know can scare you blue, if they feel the need. Its all in the role, man... ...
  
  











  



  
Consensual Spanking1 review
Jules Markham

Adlibbed Ltd, 2005

consensual spanking

The book explained most all aspects of sexual, erotic and sensual spanking in a clear and detailed manner. Spanking is a fetish or fantasy that can be extremely ebarrassing to those that are aroused by it. When it's consentual between a man and a woman, it can be a stimulating element of sexual ...

Kathe Koja

Running Press, 2000

Uncommon Horror That Transcends Genre

+ Koja conjures the strange and the magical
+ Fantastic...

Kathe Koja's writing transcends genre. Her literary, stream-of-consciousness style takes you into an alternate reality. If you enjoy the taste of these short stories, do not hesitate to track down all of her novels as well. Apparently, Kathe Koja has reinvented herself as a young adult author. ...

The Tears Corporation/Creation, 1996

Phallic Distortion

+ Don't wake me up.

It is expected and obvious that the English language speaking public finds a surrealist masterpiece such as Louis Aragon's as intimately obscene, and on such grounds impregnates disparaging critiques that climax with inelegant statements pronounced with a stiff intellectual disregard. Here we do ...

Jack Rinella

Daedalus Publishing Company, 1994

A serious guide for any Master

Although this was his first book, Jack Rinella had been active in the gay leather scene for what seems a life time to the rest of us. This excellent book is a "how to" treatise for all readers...those experienced and novice, Masters and slaves, men AND women. Its also sets a standard for Masters ...

Geoff Mains

Daedalus Publishing, 2002

A classic at its 20 year mark!

Today kinky people use terms like endorphins and tribe to describe what they do, but you know where those ideas came from? Geoff Mains was one of the first leathermen to take his vanilla career as a professional scientist, a biochemist, and turn his lens onto his sexuality. Today these ideas seem ...
