Fever : sensual stories by women writers

M. Slung

Slung's second anthology of erotica written by women embraces diversity-in age and sexual preference-and celebrates desire in many forms. While most tales are concerned with heterosexual love, many passions are explored, from Elizabeth Clarke's lustily defiant "Queer", a chronicle of a love affair's beginning, narrated by a multiply-pierced, bisexual stripper-to Marion Callen's sly, seemingly demure "An Honest Transaction," about the ladylike but wildly successful seduction mounted by tea-sipping Mavis. In "Lilith," Francine Falk describes the highly charged relationship between two women, conducted almost entirely over the telephone.
