[Freyja Vanadis · Rating 2 out of 5]

Somehow, somewhere along the line, someone decided that "rough sex" means "bdsm". That's what most of the stories in this book are, and it gets pretty tiring after a while to read Daddy after Master after boy afer slave, ad nauseum. There are a handful of non-bdsm stories in here, but they're few and far between. And some are kind of way out there, like the one where a man pays another man to build a cross and crucify him on it. Or where murder is implied.
This book cured me of whatever interest I may have had in gay male sex.

An excellent collection. I especially liked "The Fall of Troy".
