Description
Forget poorly written prose and cliched love scenes: Book Lovers answers the call for sexy literature with substance. This collection of toe-curling tales written by and for word-worshippers offers well-crafted fiction and creative nonfiction that connects literature to libido. From a Vonnegut-inspired tryst to an imaginary menage a trois with Henry Miller and Anais Nin, the book encompasses a veritable buffet of literary fantasies.Whether they're conjuring Junot Diaz between the sheets or dreaming of a modern-day enactment of Wuthering Heights ,this time refusing Edgar in favour of lusty, bodice-ripping nights with Heathcliff,the stories in Book Lovers are designed for readers' brains and bodies. Includes contributions from Izabella St. James, Slash Coleman, Trina Calderon, Cara Bruce, and Stephanie Auteri.

Reviews
"Unabashed, playful, and potently erotic, Book Lovers destroys forever the idea that the intellectual and the sensual are two separate and distinct worlds. In these stories, the brain and the body intertwine in a dance that will delight and tantalize anyone who truly understands what it means to fall in love with a book." --Jillian Lauren, author of the New York Times bestseller Some Girls "With Book Lovers, the legendary Shawna Kenney has not just assembled a fantastic, compulsively readable story collection, she has created a whole new genre--Author Porn. Book Lovers is a scintillating anthology, and a must-read for lustful literati of every stripe. Pull the blinds, and crawl between the covers." --Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight
