Curated by celebrated writer and editor Rayna Russell, these are the stories that defined three years of her annual series—thirty-four of them, together in one place for the first time. From the nervous thrill of a first time to the abandon of a room full of strangers, this collection runs the full spectrum of grown-up desire. The writers come from everywhere—men and women of all ages, races, and backgrounds—so no two stories sound alike. One will make you blush. The next will make you forget what time it is.

I did a bad, bad thing. Thanks to a blank in my memory, I'm not sure what that thing was, but it was horrible enough to get me locked up in the mental ward for seven years. Horrible enough that my little sister won't even speak to me. But when I'm released back into a town determined to rub my unknown sins in my face, the past isn't the only thing that's haunting me. The four "imaginary" friends who made my childhood bearable barge into my life in a very real way.

If you’re looking for the hottest, filthiest collection of erotic short stories of the year that will leave you breathless and satisfied, then keep reading…My name is Rayna Russell, and I’m an author, editor, and writing teacher. I’m also an unapologetically rabid consumer of erotica. Like many of you, I think the short story is the perfect format for the genre. I love to meet new characters, explore a unique setting, and see what dirty magic an author can create in a few minutes. This format also pushes your boundaries.

As if falling for the ghosts of four murdered gangsters wasn't crazy enough, it turns out we've got a real live supervillain on our hands. One with mysterious powers that reach way farther than we could have imagined. And that villain has torn my sister away from me. I'll stop at nothing to bring her back and see my men get the vengeance they deserve. It's just a little hard to win a war when you're not really sure what kind of monster you're up against. Or how many you're up against, for that matter. 

A whole family of monsters has menaced my home for far too long. And in the battle to take them down, one of resurrected gangsters I love may have lost his life all over again. But my men have already survived one set of murders. I made it out of the looney bin and rescued my sister. We've proven we don't back down...even when maybe we should.

Mark Twain wrote this witty satire in response to a request by editors of the New York World to contribute a humorous essay describing his first lie. He used the opportunity for discussion on the nature of lying, including "the lie of silent assertion". He pointed out the difference between a spoken lie and any other, as well as the fact that we readily condemn a lie by an individual but rarely challenge the false assumptions on which entire nations and institutions base their existence.
