The delights of Black Lace

I'm sure that many have read from the Black Lace imprint, but for those who haven't here's a little bit about this great selection. Black Lace is an English publisher which came to being almost 20 years ago, and it is erotica written by women for women. Although all are in the erotica genre there is an interesting mix within that, ranging through contemporary, historical, and even specialties such as paranormal. There is also a good selection of anthologies within the imprint, and if you've never read any Black Lace books then those anthologies can be a great place to start.

Some anthologies are purely short stories, some contain excerpts from full-length novels, and some are a mixture of both. When I first started reading them back in the early 90s I found the anthologies (named "Pandora's Box, Pandora's Box 2, etc. way back then) let me browse samplings from unfamiliar authors and get a taste for their style. That was very helpful in deciding which ones I was then willing to spend money on as I knew which authors appealed to me through having read those excerpts of their work. "A Brush with Officer Schroeder" left me eager to read more from Portia Da Costa, while the snippet from "Cassandra's Conflict" called to my own state of flux at that time and place and led me to read everything Frederica Alleyn had written about Cassandra's trials and tribulations.

If you are looking for more than just wham bam thank you Ma'am style erotica then you may well find the Black Lace books appealing. All the ones I have read are well written and offer up interesting stories along with their erotic settings. For me they tease and please my brain aswell as sometimes causing other reactions. They do not all delve into aspects of kink however - after all, erotica is so subjective. But there are plenty that do dip into the BDSM world and more, so go out and try some next time you want a good erotic fiction book.

And keep in mind, as Joseph Brodsky says ...
^^ There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.^^
