I quite enjoyed this collection of short stories, although the majority of them weren't great, there were some hidden gems. Most of the stories had a sexual or sensual element, but I wouldn't call them erotica (except maybe a couple). Actually the few that could be described that way were some of my favourites, e.g. Elizabeth Cook's "Billets Doux" and Leslie Dick's "Minitel 3615". Minitel 3615 was the absolute standout for me; two strangers exchange fantasies over Minitel, a French, pre-internet computer communication system. A very well-written exploration of exhibitionism, anonymity, and desire mediated by "the machine"; hot!
