A collection of five erotic stories with mixed themes.
A Stranger In A Strange Land by Izzy French Life is dull for Sara in Riyadh, and her husband Chris is becoming increasingly emotionally remote. They fuck, but with little feeling and Sara believes he is having an affair, probably with another man. Her only option is to break the rules. On an illicit trip to the souk she is rescued from a predatory man, possibly the religious police, by their intriguing driver Jay, also a stranger here. He returns her to her compound and her illicit behaviour continues with Jay being an, at first, reluctant, then willing and adventurous participant in thrilling, punishing, dangerous and, ultimately, satisfying sex games. Peacocks by Elizabeth Cage Thirty-nine-year-old Nikki Campbell doesn’t believe in fate. While holidaying in Croatia, she fantasises about a sexy American tourist who struts around like a proud peacock. But on a day trip to the beautiful unspoilt island of Lokrum, a twist of fate results in her escalating desires finally being satisfied, although not quite in the way she expects ... Sex in Thailand by Eva Hore Alone in Thailand after a business trip in China this man decides he has the opportunity to cheat on his wife if he so desires. He gets more than he bargained for after picking up a sexy little number while visiting his first live sex show. 2101: A Sex Odyssey by John McKeown A travel writer assigned to report on the world’s first fully-fledged space hotel is keener to get his rocks off than to keep his irritable Earth-bound editor happy. Time is of the essence. If he files his story a nano-second late this extra-terrestrial Odysseus is out of a job. But distractions abound, and our hero is particularly desperate to experience sex in zero gravity. Ursula, a cafe waitress on the station, is willing to indulge the over-sexed hack, and to take him to a mind-blowing place where they’ve honed the weightless pleasures of the flesh down to a fine-art. Volcanoes by Dominic Santi When a volcano eruption closes airports across Europe, an American executive is forced to extend his business trip at the expense of an anniversary weekend with his wife. Heat erupts in his private life, however, when a chance encounter at the airport leads to the opportunity for him to live out the once-in-a-lifetime breast fetish of his dreams – so long as his voyeuristic wife gets to watch, in real time over the Internet.

Tillfälligt slut
"John McKeown's dark, crystalline poems break in the mind like wafers of longing for a world we've nearly forgotten is still ours." Naomi FoyleRather than 'emotion recollected in tranquility' many of these short poems encapsulate the aggravations of love untempered by any fireside philosophy. Unrealisable lusts of the eye, unrequited attachment, and moments of realised and imaginary passion are concentrated into cameos and carbuncles – 'glimmering tokens of memory'. A calmer but no less acquisitive eye is turned on manifestations of nature, while the taken-for-granted basics of our human background – day, night, and the elements – are imbued with beauty and mystery. A visceral hatred for the everyday world, for the eternal business of compromise and commerce is also apparent, flashing out with the same unashamed, unadorned and undiluted clarity as the miniature paeans to unrealisable love. Despite the sense of unreconstructed emotion the dominant tone is cool and mordant, tailing off into acceptance of the heart's half self-inflicted torments.John McKeown was born in Liverpool in 1959. He is an English/History graduate of John Moore's University and an alumnus of the city's seminal Dead Good Poets Society. He lived in Prague in the 1990s where he was part of the city's expat literary scene. In 2000 he moved to Dublin, becoming a columnist for The Irish Examiner, and arts feature writer for In Dublin and The Irish Times. He was theatre critic for the Irish Daily Mail from 2006 to 2008, and since then has reviewed theatre for The Irish Independent. His poems have appeared in Orbis, The Frogmore Papers, Dreamcatcher, Other Poetry, Earth Love, Envoi, Borderlines, The London Magazine, Cyphers, The Shop, and Southword. This is his fourth collection.
