Of Princes & Beauties: Erotic Fairy Tales for Adults
This ribald collection of new twists on some old myths mixes gay and straight themes and turns fairy tale convention inside out. From a gay retelling of Beauty and the Beast to a sideways Cinderella story where the right 'fit' is not a shoe, from the story of who really saved the Frog Prince to the tale of a charmed phallus, these tales go beyond Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty series to new erotic and romantic territories.

You know what, I actually loved this. It was so weird but also really fun. Almost every story had me asking wtf and I needed to keep reading.
Tell me how the first line of chapter 5—Dictation by E.R. Stewart—was somehow the LEAST weird thing to happen in that chapter.
"The wizard had his dick out again." (page 57)
It's so short, may as well read it, right? Only 95 pages, but its impact on your psyche will last far longer than the time it takes to read.
