Mammoth Book of Erotica Presents the Best of Maxim Jakubowski
by Maxim Jakubowski
The KC Suite
Memories of an affair in words and stolen dialogue, as a lover reconstructs the anatomy of lust and love and the dangerous ways in which they combine.

The Rise and Fall of The Burlesque Empire
A tale of time and travel and Times Square from the age of burlesque to the seedy years of peep joints and sex shows.
Over 130 short, short erotic stories of about 1,500 words each, or over 500 pages of outstanding erotica in bite-sized pieces, exploring the full range of human sensual and sexual experience.
Each one of eight sections is devoted to a specific erotic kink, such as spanking, submission, voyeurism, uniforms or bondage, providing an astonishing diversity of erotica between the covers of one book.
Despite its length, this short-form erotica from the world's leading writers remains inventive, provocative, sensual, and above all intelligent. These are sexual adventures to intrigue, shock, puzzle, and both scare and arouse. Mere titillation is never enough.
Some of the most popular and innovative writers of erotic literature today have contributed to these twelve short novels that explore everything from love and longing to the darker emotions of pain, ecstasy, and total submission of the self to another. Longer and more satisfying than a short story, novellas allow the author to create perfect settings for thrilling and imaginative worlds, with a greater sense of involvement for the reader.
Amongst those selected we find:
The promiscous escapades of a journalist and photographer in Thailand.
The success of an author's first book that ends five years of celibacy with an astonishing series of encounters.
The journey an older man takes to New York to meet a young sex slave on the internet.
A retelling of the classic tale of a maid's submission to her dominant master.
Maxim Jakubowski has once again compiled a blockbuster collection of the year's most outstanding short crime fiction published in the UK. His aim is always to present the whole breadth of crime, mystery and thriller writing, from gentle stories of detection to puzzling historical labyrinths full of devious characters and sharp social comment about our imperfect society in some savage, and often scary stories.
Last year saw a fifth Crime Writers Association Short Story Dagger award for the series - for 'Homework' by Phil Lovesey, whose work features again in this year's collection.
There is a new story by Ann Cleeves, whose fictional sleuth Vera Stanhope has created such a buzz in ITV prime-time drama Vera, starring Brenda Blethyn.

Tyler, Chris Ewan, Ian Ayris, Col Bury, Matt Hilton and Christine Poulson, some of whom have already made a name for themselves, while others are at the start of hugely promising careers.
