Cecilia M. Tan

The 21 inspired stories within reveal the breadth of what's possible in the human erotic imagination. Ranging from the mildly titillating to the wholly transformative, they travel from familiar bedrooms to faraway planets and magical realms. From a lonely woman who finds her perfect lover lurking in a bookstore, to a college student who discovers her own hidden magic, and from the erotic awakening of a goddess, to the sexual adventures of goth girls with attitude, Celia Tan mixes the sexual and sensual with a daring array of intriguing plots and settings. The follow-up to the groundbreaking collection Black Feathers, White Flames celebrates sexuality through body and mind in a collection of both never-before-published tales and stories reprinted from a wide range of sources (including Best Women's Erotica, On Our Backs, Hot & Bothered, and many others). This is the pinnacle of twenty-first century women-positive and sex-positive literature. -- from back cover.
