The best of the best The hottest of the hot To mark its fifteenth anniversary, the top-selling erotica series achieves a scorching new climax with a special edition showcasing standout stories from the entire series as well as never before published pieces — plus interviews with the authors and, for the first time, a hot and edgy piece from Susie Bright herself. In Susie Bright’s own contribution, Story of O Birthday Party, she recounts her lover’s elaborately orchestrated birthday gift: a re-creation of Pauline Réage’s classic S/M tale with Susie at the center of the action. Joe Maynard enters a love/hate relationship with a two-million-dollar sex toy in Fleshlight. Greta Christina’s Are We Having Sex Now or What? asks the provocative question of what defines authentic sexual connection and experience. Thoroughly electrifying — and thrillingly eclectic — the 2008 edition promises to open new doors with its exhilarating, equal-opportunity approach to erotic writing. Straight or gay, dominant or submissive, romantic or sadistic, Bright’s selections run the gamut — and push all the right buttons.
