An eclectic collection of erotic short stories from Eroticanoir.com, the popular website from best-selling author Zane.

Twenty-seven authors take readers on a hot, steamy, erotic journey through sex in its many, varied facets, with an African-American bent. From a young soldier losing his virginity with a classy prostitute to a woman cheating with her best friend’s husband, to a whole slew of erotic encounters—with one, two and multiple partners—the collection offers a variety of voices and perspectives on sexual prowess and pleasure. Not for the fainthearted, the stories are graphic, earthy and hard-core. From a writing and storytelling perspective, some are decidedly better written and more compelling than others. Most are more concerned with situational description than a particularly well-defined story arc; many show a distinct lack of concern for relationships, loyalty or marriage vows, but to be fair, these vignettes enter into the realm of sexual fantasy, and many fantasies include a release from current relationship or marital boundaries, even in fictional form. Often, descriptions of graphic sexual situations are accompanied by graphic language, slipping at times into the profane. But there is a market for this type of writing and storytelling, and that market will appreciate what this anthology has to offer.


For the right audience, much of Zane’s Z-Rated collection will be like a satisfying slam-bam-thank-you-ma’am sexual tryst with a fantasy lover—hot, quick and naughty.
