“Self-Murder
is a fascinating and excellent psychological thriller readers
won't be able to put down.”
—Midwest
Book Review
“A
phantasmagoria of unbridled lust, sexual obsession, and stealth
madness, Self-Murder is a dazzling indictment of desire
that brims with sensory imagery and moments of exquisite verbal
beauty delivered by a narrative voice that is baroque but disturbing
and more than a little reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe.”
—Gary
Earl Ross, Edgar Award-winning author of Blackbird Rising: A
Novel of the American Spirit
"Robert
Scott Leyse channels Baudelaire's Queen of Spades and Jack of Hearts,
speaking darkly of dead loves, in this new book. He also reminds
me of James Purdy's notorious eccentricity. There's plenty of middlebrow
stuff if you want it. Self-Murder isn't that."
—Kris
Saknussemm, author of Private Midnight

"A
fine and entertaining novel,
Liaisons for Laughs is a choice

A
Review of the Anthology
"Best Lesbian Erotica 2004"
by Lisabet Sarai
"Much
of this collection, though, seems to focus almost exclusively on
the physical. I also found it surprising (though I suspect that
this reveals my ignorance of lesbian sexual conventions) how many
of the encounters seemed to play out stereotyped straight scenarios:
butches fucking femmes with strap-ons, femmes giving blow jobs to
silicon cocks, deeper and harder and rougher is better..."

A Review
of the Novel "3"
by
Lisabet Sarai
"This is no ordinary love; it is diabolical
and all-consuming. Nor is the sex in '3' of the ordinary variety.
An edginess pervades the sex scenes, even the most vanilla. The
characters are constantly pushing boundaries, and pleasure is always
tainted: by fear, by shame, by insecurity."
A
Review of the Novel "3"
by Kristine Hawes
"This is no mere chronicle about three people fucking
and living happily ever after. Truthfully, it's not a book I would
even classify as typical erotica. While "3" is about sex
and sexual acts, it is a complex story about how obsessions can
become so binding as to choke out the life of their givers. This
book is a dark look at the emotional and mental workings of fetish,
desire, and codependency."

Antics
1)
Sextasy in the Cathedral
(I)
"At
length I found myself facing a life-sized marble statue of an attractive
female Saint: she was on her back on the ground, arms and legs flung
out at her sides, wavy hair streaming in every direction; her head
was tossed back, her eyes were half closed, an expression of rapture
suffused her face. The beauty of her face, slender symmetry of her
body, commenced to have an effect on me..."
2)
Sextasy in the Cathedral
(II)
"I
shoved myself harder against her and her body eagerly returned the
pressure, insistently quivered; a rapid series of deep sigh-like
breaths continued to pass in and out of her mouth; her sable coat
-- as if by magic -- slid backwards, revealing the full length of
her left thigh; in another moment I was kneading its soft nakedness
(she wasn't wearing stockings) with both hands and her coat was
flung over all, a concealing veil."
3)
Kinky Kicks on Company Time
(I)
"Where
have I not had sex at the firm? and what sexual practices have I
failed to indulge in at the firm? and when have I not been able
to laugh at conceited disciplinary idiots at the firm, on account
of all the fun I was having in the immediate vicinity? That incomparably
cute full-figured Catholic girl first comes to mind -- so sexily
clothed in a conservative manner -- cashmere turtleneck sweaters,
pleated skirts of a respectable length, everything stylish but simple..."
4)
Kinky Kicks on Company Time
(II)
"Yes,
a steady buildup of anticipation -- impatient desire -- followed
by the consummation of it! The inner dips and rolls, awashings of
the soul! The Catholic lovely and I became connoisseurs of the difference
between hunger and the surrender to it; we invented a diversion,
which we labeled The Sharp Contrast Game."
5)
Kinky
Kicks on Company Time (III), or Cubicles and the Cutsie Club
"Listen:
in any workplace there are unhappy, depressed, stupid people whose
only pleasure in life is killing the happiness of others, and seeking
to have things run according to the dictates of their dismal personalities;
so you've got to -- I repeat, got to! -- counterbalance their unhealthy
influence by having sex under their noses at work as much as possible!"

Aimee's in a plight and a fright:
Her stocking's torn, it can't be worn.
And the formal dinner beckons:
A second-rate drab she reckons
She'll be without her precious "Reds":
An arch rival will turn more heads!
So the formal dinner's called off
And I foolishly dare to scoff.
So now my plight: no muff tonight!
# 38
As long as love-flatteries keep flowing
Christine remains kind, submissive, glowing;
The moment I put a lid on my mouth,
Her cooperative nature goes south.
So I ask: is binding myself with lies
Worth the reward of her fluttering sighs
As she opens thighs, proffers honeypot,
Undulates and giggles for my grapeshot?
Answer: I'll mouth any insane love-tale –
Beg for commitment, declare she's my grail –
When her bright eyes spin joy into my chest
And I seize, and squeeze, a succulent breast!

Excerpt
from the novel, Self-Murder
by
Robert Scott Leyse
"Was
I speaking aloud when I heard my voice intone, “I want to drink
your death!”? In other words, did I whisper it into the ear of she
with whom I was spending the night or silently recite it to myself? I
wouldn’t bother to ask had I not suddenly become aware that her
hands were pressing against—slapping at—my chest in a manner
which seemed more strident than playful; aware it was almost as if she
was insisting I raise myself off of her, bring the proceedings to a halt."
The
Dead End Job
by Laurence Klavan
"They had started doing it at work because they had been so fucking
bored. Not that Isabel had expected to be thrilled, exactly, collecting
data in a company that made security systems—let her get this straight—so
that “passive requestors” could strengthen the “trust
realms” between “insecure” computers, so that web browsers
could better “make requests” of—oh, the whole thing
had been so lame to begin with, and so would anybody working in it..."
Where
There’s Sin…
by
Daryn Houston
"She thinks about when she applied – just an ad in the paper
for a customer service representative for a fruit basket company. She
did not expect their boss Lisa to have a secondary job running a brothel.
She watches Nathaniel blink several times at the ceiling and starts to
massage his neck."

"Henry Miller has been ill-served by both defenders and detractors.
Muddle begins at the simple bibliographical level. Kingsley Widmer calls
his first biography (by Jay Martin, 1978) "co-operative"; Ronald
Gottesman dubs it "unauthorised"; Mary Dearborn and Karl Orend
(TLS, June 20, 2003) assert Miller tried to quash it." The

Barry Baldwin.
The
Sex Doctor Chronicles: Pavlov’s Pussy
by
Adam Madison
"Now,
I am a sex doctor, so I don’t deal with animals. The only exception
was a mule that I met in Amsterdam, but that’s a surprisingly boring
story. Instead I work with gorgeous little nymphomaniacs from around the
world, and I am telling you that I can provoke their vaginal secretions
simply by ringing a bell. This may sound insane, but I have proven it
during one five-day-long experiment. I took on the project after making
a bet with Mr. Garza, a personal friend and a famous entrepreneur in the
sex industry."
The
Diagnosis
by
Tom Hathaway
"Dad wished the doc had just shot him right then. To live under a
death sentence, to feel time running out with nothing to do about it,
seemed to make life not worth living. He got so depressed he couldn't
take care of himself. Everything seemed too much trouble."
Strippers
by
Greg Jenkins
"When I drew near my truck, a pink light came on above me, and it
shot through my fuzzy mind that this—the sudden wash of pinkness—might
be another effect of the methylene chloride. But then I looked up and
saw a large lilac bush, heavy with thick white flowers, and behind it
a wooden apartment house, and above the white-tipped lilac, two stories
up, a casement window glowing softly with a warm pink light. In a moment,
the girl stepped to the window."
Blind
Tasting
by EllaRegina
"They were the epitome of sophistication and urbane modern living.
The men had long been vasectomized, completely relieving their marriages
of pregnancy scares and latex fluid barriers. The couples were close and
getting closer. The Montridge Eight gatherings elicited flirtatious behavior
that grew stronger over the years. It began with one foot finding another
under the table, or venturing further, toes slowly massaging a crotch.
Hands would sneak inside waistbands from behind."
Leon’s
Lament
by Flavian Mark Lupinetti
"Furthermore, as in similar acts of an athletic nature, the art of
Tongue Fu requires the development of the supportin’ muscles as
well. Even the strongest tongue can fatigue early if you neglect the deltoids
and the traps and the sternocleidomastoids, which could lead to your lettin’
up on the reins just as your filly is nearin’ the finish line. Which
is just plain embarrasin’."
Vice
Grip
by Kevin Brown
"Behind him, on the big screen TV, this Asian chick’s
taking it in the out way. Her palms pressing her tits together, her hair
cinched in roped pigtails. Mouth O’d the way Kalli’s is now.
Mike stands and says, 'Babe, this is not what it looks.' Noticing the
shadow of his prick on the wall, he holds a hand out mime-style and says,
'At least I’m not cheating,' and she says, 'Yeah, at least there’s
that.'"
Rain
and the Library
by Kris Saknussemm
"Perched on the tall ladder, your skirt falls in such a way, that
by standing behind the ladder I can not only glimpse, but luxuriantly
examine, the curve of your ass. If I move forward, slipping between the
ladder and the shelf, I can look up and see your pussy just above me…and
more than that. Stopped still in mid air above me, I am close enough to
catch your scent…"
Liaisons
for Laughs: Angie & Ella's Summer of Delirium; Chapter One: Overture
(Summer's Delirium)
by Robert Scott Leyse
"Central
Park (Closest approximation of natural wilds any town could hope to have!)
always tosses me off-balance in a good way, teeters me towards being rasher
than my already rash self; yesterday, the effect was heightened. I was
vividly—almost unbearably—aware of every flying, scampering,
noisy sustenance-craving creature; my blood was ahum with the struggle
each living thing shares—the never quiet urge to prolong its stay
on earth and propagate itself!"
Above
the Summer Moonlight
by
Marsha Lockom
"I had come dressed appropriately to garner attention from both the
management and band members, should I be able to meet them. Doors do seem
to open for a pretty girl in the male world of metal music. I wore short-shorts,
four-inch ankle tie sandals and a top cut low enough that some white skin
on the tops of my breasts became sunburned from first ever exposure. Most
of the fans were teenage males who secretly cast glances my way, but were
never bold enough to approach. Thank goodness it was clear I was not there
for them."
First
Tango in Manhattan
by
Tom Hathaway
"So both of us are causalities of the love wars. We get along pretty
well as roommates. Instead of paying rent, he does the cooking and cleaning.
Some of my friends joke about me having a live-in male maid, but I don't
see it that way. It's just division of labor. At first I had to put some
pressure on him to get him to raise his housekeeping standards above bachelor
slob level, and his culinary skills are still in the learn-by-doing stage,
but we've got a functioning living unit going here."
Honeymoon
with Shannon
by
Thom Gautier
"Sometimes in my office as we edited one of her Godawful poems our
knuckles brushed. Mostly we kept a safe distance. I’d lean back
in my chair unbuttoning her blouse with my eyes, imagining planting a
kiss near her neckline, my hands cupping and massaging her breasts, suckling
her nipples. She would ask me what I was thinking and I answered with
cryptic poetic remarks. “I’m thinking of rain and the color
pink.” She would hug her bag so hard that her blouse’s neckline
would reveal her bra strap."
His
Respect
by
Larry Smith
"He knew about Leif from the beginning. She was always honest about
it. It was hard to break with him, she had confessed, and, yes, they could
be married, but this old lover was somebody that she just couldn’t
let go of right away. There might even be nights she’d come home
late because of some mutual felt need for intimacy. And he agreed to it,
first because he wanted her so much, and, second, because he had faith
it was, finally, toward him that she was most deeply headed with all her
heart and soul."
Jungle
Dream
by Harry Johnson
"The woman's face was visible now. Her eyes were shut tight, clenched.
Her lips were pursed in anguish. She had a pretty face. Her features were
strong: arrogant chin, high cheekbones, and a proud forehead. Her neck
was long and feminine and yet sinewy and muscular. Her ears were pierced,
but there was no sign of earrings. Her torso was smeared with their blood.
The bullets that had killed the man had penetrated her rib cage just beneath
her right breast. Nick’s mind whirred like a high-powered computer,
calculating how he fit into this scene."
Through
Alice Glass Darkly
by
Larry Smith
"Alice
Glass was demure, diminutive, nearly exquisite. Her eyes really were green.
She had lovely thin lips. Naked, when she’d admire her puckered
blood-red nipples in the mirror, she imagined the joy of men seeing them
for the first time. How sweet to the suck they must be! Alice walked on
girlish little chicken legs. Her back tapered smoothly to her bum. Sometimes,
she cropped her dark blond hair. Other times, she put it up in a bun like
a schoolmarm’s. She knew how men exalt to make a schoolmarm moan.
Howling was the gift she gave the men she wanted happy."
Asking
For It
by
Beth Friedland
"The
spongy tape and the soft rope are tools of his benevolent cruelty. The
devices and his use of them in specific times serve to keep me sufficiently
restrained without endangering me excessively. I am fully confined, even
with some discomfort smoldering in my limbs, but the danger is minimal,
and the pain insignificant so he can rest without having to monitor my
breathing and safety every moment."
Sparklewheel
by Kris Saknussemm
"Then we start to get really hot…touching each other…kissing…and
then we think what it would be like to fuck while on the wheel, flying
around this haunted fairground. You’ve got this flimsy mint julep
dress on with no panties and I’m wearing microfiber cargo pants.
You’re wet and ready. It’s easy for me to pull it out and
slide into you. You can ride me while we speed higher and harder around
and around."
Child’s
Position
by Dawn Ryan
"She was no Lama, I knew that. It wasn’t possible that she
could have reached enlightenment in such a short period of time, and how
does one willfully go from finger-fucking in the bathroom stall of some
dive to meditating under the Boddhi tree? And how does it become a for-profit
enterprise? I hadn’t even spoken to her and I was angry with her
already. A master of what? A healer of what? The magic that had lived
inside of me and kept me believing and hopeful, the image of Lily that
had meant so much to me, The Virgin Mother herself, all her greatness
and glory, was demolished the second I learned that she called herself
a master, a healer, a missionary, a nun."

Cathouse:
institution of higher learning, where many a young man has obtained
a much needed indoctrination into the mysteries of life. As Kirk
puts it: "Before Uncle Tim took me to the cathouse in the swamp
in Mississippi I was an inept, bumbling, pathetic, girl-shy idiot!
I mean, Sylvia-Sue used to torment me without mercy in math class
with those pink panties of hers! Used to sit across from me and
spread until those pink panties were in plain sight; and, try though
I might not to, I'd always go red in the face and get dizzy! Cruel
Sylvia-Sue! She made no bones about laughing at me! She'd start
to giggle right there in class; and all the other girls knew why,
though -- thank God -- none of the guys did! But after I spent that
afternoon with Lascivia in the cathouse and got to see and touch
and taste and fuck first hand the pink that awaits behind all pink
panties… Well, suffice to say that Sylvia-Sue didn't laugh
at me again! How so? Because, now that I'd been shown what's what
and knew what to do, I came to an understanding with Sylvia-Sue
in the parking lot the following Tuesday during lunch hour and had
a fine lunch of pink pussy in the backseat of her car! No longer
unnerved by the sight of her pink panties, I was pulling them down
her sleek legs and tossing them aside: one visit to the cathouse
turned my life around! Sylvia-Sue continued to flash me during math
class, but the sight filled me with thoughts of fun to come; instead
of being paralyzed with confusion, I was rapt with appreciation!"
Defensive
Disrobing:
when a female, sensing that a male is rapidly losing patience with
her bratty behavior and is about to shove her out the door, strips
off every stitch of clothing to prevent him from doing so. Once
the said female is stark naked, she glares defiantly; often, she
makes comments such as: "So, Mr. Smart One, what are you going
to do now?," "As you can see, I'm not leaving
until I want to!," or "You'd better tell me you
love me, and make it mighty convincing!" Adds St. Fond: "And
the minxes are right: what guy is going to toss a naked girl outside?
The moment they strip, they're holding all the cards and they know
it! And don't bother with seeking to dress them against their will,
either: it can't be done! Believe me, I've tried! Doesn't matter
if she's a petite thing: if she doesn't want her clothes on, they're
not going on! The instant you try it, she's a squirming enraged
cat: not a chance of getting her arms inside those sleeves! So,
you're stuck: might as well be tactful and say the things she wants
to hear and cuddle awhile and wait until she puts her clothes on
voluntarily; because, until then, you've got company!"
Hooker-Honking:
game played by New York cab drivers. Occasionally, out-of-town males
request to be taken on a tour of streets frequented by hookers so
that they can stare at the skimpily clad lovelies while persuading
themselves they're acquiring a seamy-side-of-life experience. So
the cab driver, in order to treat them to a far more up close and
personal experience, vigorously honks the horn while gesturing for
the girls to come hither and pointing towards the back seat. The
girls, mindful of making some money, come running and hop in the
back -- something that generally throws the out of town males into
a great deal of consternation. "I'm doing them the favor of
jarring them from observational mode into panic mode," declares
Donny, a driver at the Midland garage. "I mean, panic's a far
more memorable emotion, right? I'm giving them an experience they'll
remember! I'm enriching their lives! Not to mention treating myself
to some fun! The looks on their faces when the girls they were gawking
at in safety are suddenly sitting next to them, aggressively plying
their trade… Well, it's priceless! It's the 'What have we
gotten ourselves into now?' look! It's discomfort rapidly spilling
over into terror! Later on, after they've vigorously protested and
compelled me to ask the girls to leave, I play it innocent and say:
'Sorry, I thought that's what you wanted.' Ha! Ha! Ha!"
