Book Reviews of Flesh to FleshBook Review: Great anthology, creative stories a class above the rest Summary: 4 StarsI usually find "erotic anthologies" to be boring, generally full of poorly-written short stories with a page and a half of build-up then four pages of "hot talk" trying to make the action seem more interesting than it actually is. That's why I was pleasantly surprised with this particular collection, which features creative stories - most highlighting African-American men - by a group of writers ranging from well-known to promising new talent. The individual novellas are generally well developed, with realistic, diverse (in race, age, and sexual orientation) characters and situations, and well-paced erotic content that adds to the enjoyment of the story.
Can't possibly comment on all 21 stories, but my favorites included Jayden Blake's "The One" (in which a gay man finds himself as best man when his ex marries a girl he introduced him to), and Neil Plakcy's "The Summer of the Hippie" (a young man spends the summer before starting his ivy league college learning life lessons from a free-spirited guy visiting his neighbor.) There is bound to be something here for anyone's taste. I give the collection four stars out of five.
Summary of Flesh to FleshFrom award-winning author Lee Hayes -- an erotic exploration into the lives of African-American gay men and their desires for love and acceptance. Unapologetically raw in its approach to the sexual lives and happenings of African-American gay men, Flesh to Flesh is a gritty, pulsing view into a demographic that is often demonized and condemned. These stories provide a rare, true revelation of how gay men are faring in an age where sensuality is a major factor in everyday media and consciousness. What do gay men feel about life, love, relationships, and intimacy? For anyone who has wondered about the passion between two men, this explosive, sexually charged anthology peels back the layers to show what lies beneath modern stereotypes and homophobia. With contributors such as Lee Hayes (Passion Marks, A Deeper Blue and The Messiah), L.M. Ross (Manhood and The Long Blue Moan), and Dayne Avery (I Wrote This Song), the stories in Flesh to Flesh reveal deep emotions and a powerful commitment to life and love.
