This felt like false advertising; while some of the stories mayybeee may have had some small erotic elements(if you could call it that), I would not label these as erotic stories. More than half of these stories are about some yearning lesbian cheating on their current partner with their long dead illness ridden lesbian ghost lover. Too much plot, and I didnt even like the plots unfortunately. Some were a little funny, mostly for their bizarreness(Id recommend the mummy one, and the suicidal sex dream demon one). I will say they were definitely creative with it, and I was scared a few times though(in more ways than one)
Happy les lit club!

there were a couple of stories that were freaky but overrall it was so much yearning, clichey storytelling, and fell flat downhill towards the end. loved getting with my clit lit book club to mock and laugh at freaky writing though that was great

3.5 ⭐️ I only really enjoyed a select few of stories but I would still recommend it if you want to read good wlw erotica.

I LOVED this book! The stories were all well written and interesting. I'm not a fan of most anthologies. This one was an exception. I'm retaining this book for my must-read-again pile.
