I so appreciate your candor, R.V. Being immersed in these stories makes me need to hear outsiders' point of view. About the creepy side... I've learned that it's all in the writing. Someone else could write about robot sex machines, or psycho all-night diner busboys, and you'd yawn. These stories got my heart racing too, because the writers employed aspects of suspense, taboo, and horror as well as erotica. I just love Matt Addison's Wish Girls too. He is an amazing writer, and I hope I'll hear a lot more from him! I love a blasphemous husband myself!

I think that the authors could provoke such a reaction in a reader shows their skill at writing. SB-I read it right through. Sometimes I'm tempted to skip around but then I think I might forget a story so I don't. Susie-How right you are.

(i linked here through rkb) ...i also read all the way through. i'm really obsessive about it--if i start an anthology of any sort, i have to read every single one in the book in order, cover to cover before i can say i'm done with it. this sucks when i end up with a best american essays that is overloaded with pieces about birds and mountains. xo marie lyn thanks for the nice words!
