Anne Rice writing as A.N. Roquelaure - The Sleeping Beauty Novels

"The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty"
[II] "Beauty's Punishment"
[III] "Beauty's Release"

I just picked up the set at Barnes & Noble. Sorry friends of the north, they are charging you more $63.00 and only $42.00 for us yanks.
 
I read them years ago. When our oldest got to reading age, I sold them. Didn't want to warp his young mind. He can do that himself when he's older.

On the lighter side, Piers Anthony's Pornucopia is entertaining.

Any other "mainstream" authors with erotic works?

P.S. I'm not a fan of Anne Rice, she's too verbose and overly-descriptive for me. And she puts a romantic slant on her attempts at erotic horror (I said before I was an EH snob. :eek: )

Your just jealous because she makes money writing and you're just a slut on a smut site.:rolleyes:

Yeah, ok.

:p

But I wanna be like my favourite authors - known for pulling no punches and writing it as it is.

Wouldn't say no to her fame and fortune, though. ;)

She is verbose, but I find most of her books entertaining. It's a "mood" read. I can't read her unless I'm in a certain mood.

Others, I can read anytime. Anne McCaffrey can weave a very enthralling story -- not heavy stuff, by any stretch, but gripping nonetheless.

I'm not lying!

The seven Lady godiva's by Dr. Seuss. Complete with nudie illustrations :)
 
Philip José Farmer wrote a couple of classics. They were reissued last year or the year before in trade paperback, bound as one book.

They are essentially one book. One story in two volumes. I think there might have been a checkered publishing history.

The Image of the Beast
and
Blown

"Blown" is such a cool title for a whopping porn novel! They are just porn-horror at first, but soon reach out into sci-fi a bit, while remaining incredibly graphic. His first chapter, the video sent to the cops when the first investigator disappears, is a great read all by itself! And it has one of the most unusual women in it. Vagina dentata? Nowhere near as scary as this girl.

I got to the second page when I saw where the story was heading. Page 7 confirmed that this is a BDSM story.

his sex, her sex....hmmm? There are more compelling descriptions on Lit for sure.

Just had to finish the first chapter. A girl at Barnes & Noble suggested it. One of the goth type chicks with black boots, red fishnets, black laced skirt, fitted top, black buttoned sweater, and oh, no panties. Wouldn't have know that had not the books been on the bottom shelf.

Prev for life :D
 
I've got the Beauty books. Didn't like them much at all. But then, I've never been a big Anne Rice fan anyway. Went through my vampire phase just before she got all famous. And I prefer 'em as soulless monsters anyway.

heh...I remember one year when Anne Rice was getting so popular. My wife was reading all her novels...so for Christmas I went out and bought her two of her latest ones. Then, glancing while at the bookstore, I saw the 'Sleeping Beauty' set of three and thought...hey, she likes these vampire novels by her so maybe she'd like Anne's version of sleeping beauty.


I didn't know that it was erotic horror...or BDSM...whatever. Man...when she opened that on Christmas morning...:eek:

And then, I was the one that read those three books, she started them...and later threw them at me. I was a naughty naughty boy.:eek:
 
I have them. I enjoyed them and turned a few friends on to them.
 
I bought one but BDSM and I were on different planets, then. I still don't like the scene so well.

She was so precious about the whole thing. As Blacksnake remarks-- his sex, her sex. The villagers making sport of her, all the Sweet Gwendolyn over the top ambience.

Not my bag, I'm afraid.

Piers Anthony wrote porn! Really? What was it like?

The books are NOT erotic. The subject matter is pornographic, but there's no heat behind it. Definitely not a "one handed read."

See:
Pornucopia

He touched upon much hotter situations in his Bio of a Space Tyrant series, and Firefly has a current running through it as well.

The Philip Jose Farmer books that cant mentioned are also at Amazon:

Interesting. Sounds like typical Piers Anthony stuff.

I've read "Switch Bitch" by Roald Dahl, a collection of some of the stories published in Playboy. They were more adult than erotic, but there was always that one detail pushing the description to a Dahlian level.

In one story it turns out that a woman has a particularly dry vagina, prompting her partner, a doctor, to discuss the symptom in terms of her clinical frigidity. So she goes to the bathroom and kills herself while the man politely leaves.
 
Roald Dahl's Kiss Kiss is a collection of his adult shorts, some very naughty. He can write, and he's pithy and wry.

Then there's Quentin Crisp. I believe he's the one who said he was "one of the stately homos of England." Read Chog if you can find it. He is more prone to rolling an idea around in his mouth to savor it. Pithy and succinct is not the flavor. Chog is not exactly porn, but my God, it's so twisted there isn't a soul you would recommend it to, they'd all look at you funny for the rest of your life.
 
I didn't like Sleeping Beauty very much, there are a number of writers on Lit whom I enjoy a lot more.
