Review # 1 was written on 2011-02-06 00:00:00 Jeffrey Kullen A mix representative of the genre. Some brilliant pieces and most not so much. Again, the problem I have with the genre - must the presence of sex subsume all else, even and esp. good writing? the perennial problem of genre fiction and its constraints, more out of convention than necessity...

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-02 00:00:00 Daniel P. Ruble Pretty much a waste of paper. The Mammoth Book of Erotica: New Edition is full of short stories from different authors. The majority are crap, especially the ones about coprophagia. I started reading this book years ago, when women were embroiled in the Fifty Shades of Grey epidemic. I've only just finished and it was a struggle. There are a few good narratives amongst the forgettable, most notably authored by Clive Barker, Anne Rice and Leonard Cohen. The best thing about this book is its cover.
