Spank! is a collection of twenty erotic tales about the most intimate of corporal punishments—spanking. Some of the best authors of erotic stories have contributed to the anthology. Famous New York City disciplinarian and corporal consultant Ms. Cassandra Park provides the introduction to the anthology aptly titled “It’s a spanking – it’s supposed to hurt!”
As King says, “Spank! is quality fantasy fodder from the adorably sexy cover to the engaging, clever, smutty, funny, spanking-good erotica you'll find inside, all the way to the adorably sexy back cover (if you purchase a print edition). How could I go wrong with the likes of Lisabet Sarai, Kathleen Bradean, Donna George Storey, A.D.R. Forte, Cervo, Anna Black, Sean Meriwether, Beth Wylde, Sacchi Green, J. Z. Sharpe, Jessica Lennox, Allison Wonderland, Jean Roberta, Lee Ash, Maggie Morton, Tara S. Nichols, Sommer Marsden, Roxy Katt, and Evan Mora?”
I'm a New Yorker. I write smut. Some people call it erotica and some people call it porn. I call it a good time. Oh, yeah, I don't just write smut; I edit it too. I also publish and edit an erotica book review site called Erotica Revealed . There's more to see on my blog and on my website.
In addition to the ones shown here, you can find my short stories in a number of anthologies such as The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica (8, 9, and 10), Best Women's Erotica (09) and Best Lesbian Erotica (08, 10 and 11). For a more complete list, check out my blog or my website.
First the fine print. I have a story in this collection (one that I'm very fond of). However, I'm pleased to note that my tale is in good company. Spank! is a lively, original selection of stories about corporal punishment, particularly administered by hand on a bent-over bottom, by some of my favorite authors. The tone of these tales ranges from lyrical ("Anything But Ordinary", by A.D.R. Forte) to hilariously clever (Cervo's "The Royal Montague" and Roxy Katt's "The Trumpet of Destiny") with a broad swathe of reddened cheeks in-between. Some of my other favorites include J.Z. Sharpe's "The House on Oxford Street", which explores one of those single, life-changing experiences that can never be repeated, no matter how much one wants to; "Sugar", by Sommer Marsden, far more than just a clever approach to dieting; "Thin-skinned" by Jean Roberta, probably the most realistic story in the collection, with its heroine beset by a wandering mind and inner doubts; Lee Ash's "Slippering", a classic tale of domestic corporal punishment told so well that it seems fresh; "Richard's Reward", by D.L.King, a butt-warming tale of female domination; and Evan Mora's haunting and enigmatic "What Jackie Gives Me". Considering that all the stories in this collection involve spanking, it's remarkably diverse. And as you can see - it's almost worthy buying just for the cover! The introduction by Cassandra Parks is an added bonus.
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
While the subject isn't my thing the stories are definitely arousing. Some of them deal solely with spanking and others with sexual acts as well. Many different stories are within, no two the same. One thing that does carry through all of them is the arousal and fulfilment of the characters desires, While reading the stories, although I always had the constant thought that I couldn't understand the act of spanking being sexually arousing, the descriptions of the characters was arousal were in nearly all cases so good that I could not fail to be aroused to. I am certain that if spanking is something that you enjoy then you cannot fail but to enjoy and be aroused by the stories presented in this collection - if it isn't then I wouldn't be surprised if were not aroused yourself.
