Forbidden Fruit Tastes Better: An Anthology of Erotic Victorian Novels
Make no mistake about it Victorians were kinky with a capital K. They were just as depraved, if not more so, than we are today. And, as we at Sextreme Books are about all things “sextreme†we were intrigued at the idea of compiling three of the all-time most sought after Victorian Erotic Novels for our readers in one volume. Included in this, our first-ever anthology of all things Victorian and erotic are The Romance of Lust, a first person narrative which follows the fictional character of Charlie Roberts from his young sexual awakening, through his experimenting with masturbation and further development into all things kinky. What historians have chiefly noted about this outrageously erotic novel are the perversity of the acts contained within which must be pointed out here do include orgies and incest. This collection also contains the famous erotic and somewhat autobiographical tale Venus in Furs by Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch. Of note is the fact that while the term “sadism†is directly attributable to the Marquis de Sade, the term “masochism†is directly attributable to this work by this author. In the tale, the protagonist, Severin, is infatuated by the beautiful woman of the story and offers himself as her slave. Enthralled by his total submission to her, he encourages this woman by the name of Wanda to humiliate and to degrade him. The degradation and humiliation becomes crueler and more heartless as the story continues. Focusing on fetish and S&M, this famous story remains famous to present times and fits right in with exactly what Sextreme Books loves to publish. Finally, this compilation would not be complete without the classic Victorian erotic novel, Forbidden Fruit. Luscious and exciting, this story fits completely and entirely in with Sextreme Books dedication to bringing its readers all things sexy and delicious. To quote one goodreads reviewer, “Mind—officially blown. Prepare to have your conceptions of a stuffy, prudish Victorian era completely swept away. Both in quality of writing and pure filth content, Forbidden Fruit makes 50 Shades look like it was written by a 4th grader. I am astounded at the level and the amount of perversity that the author manages to achieve in such a short novel.†Mmm, yummy, so you get the idea and we thought, heck, let’s just put together the best gift ever for our hungry little erotic romance readers. This is the really good stuff, ladies and gentlemen, solid erotic literature for your every whim and fancy.
