THE NYMPHO LIBRARIAN & OTHER TALES FROM BEHIND THE BOOKSHELVES
Originally published in 2011 and in print again for the first time since 2017, The Nympho Librarian is a collection of 20 steaming stories guaranteed to set your pulse racing and your legs running – straight to your local library. The sex is hot, but the librarians are hotter, as author Chrissie Bentley reveals the lip-smacking truth about what goes on behind (and on top of, and around as well) the bookshelves.
Includes 9 stories not included in the original edition.
ONLY THE SPIRITS REMAIN – AN EROTIC PANORAMA OF OLD LONDON
Originally published as Below Blue London in 2011 and out of print for almost a decade, Only The Spirits Remain is an historical cavalcade of red hot erotica set in the ever-changing streets of London’s East End.
Michelle Carter, a young professional in her first ever London apartment, discovers that she and her roommate, Janet, are not alone.
The past, too, inhabits the rooms, a sensual, tactile past that reaches back over 200 years, to draw the two women into the succession of sexual encounters that must be relived before they can be understood.
Set exclusively on London’s Isle of Dogs, a tiny patch of land that has seen countless changes over the centuries, Only The Spirits Remain is a seamless combination of explicit erotic detail and expert historical documentation.
Sweeping from Yuppie brokers to Victorian dockers, from the desperation of poverty to the complacency of wealth, from the horror of the London Blitz to the luxury of the Royal Court, Only The Spirits Remain is an historical epic like no other
WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION & OTHER STORIES
“What I Did On My Summer Vacation is as powerful, and certainly as incident-packed, as many books twice, three times its length. It certainly confirms Bentley’s place among today’s most exquisitely (and explicitly!) readable erotic authors, and leaves one yearning for her to turn her hand to a novel-length work.” – TCM Reviews
“…a wonderful erotic contemporary. It is full of scenic views that make the reader feel like they are there, experiencing it for themselves. The secondary characters add to the plot backdrop and give the story depth. The book is full of adventure, and the sex sizzles. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good erotic/contemporary story.” – Coffee Time Romance
“… a charming throwback to the first school assignments of our youth, with a decidedly adult flavor. Chrissie is an adventurous woman willing to try anything at least once. Check this out and see for yourself how her vacation went.” – RRT Reviews
Originally published in 2004, Chrissie Bentley’s debut novel is back with nine additional stories.
ASTOUNDING EROTICA – SENSATIONAL STORIES OF SORCERY, SCI-FI, MYTH AND MYSTERY
Pulp fiction meets wild erotic in this collection of 26 stories from the woman put put the oral into “oral history” and, as the author of the best selling Nympho Librarian, who dropped her libido into the library.
From ancient Egypt to modern rock’n’roll, from Roman Britain to the end of the world, via Viking ritual, vampire porn films, abandoned theme parks and comic book super-heroines, Astounding Erotica is a pan-dimensional romp through witchcraft, weirdness, history and hot, hot sex.
Originally published in 2016, this newly revised edition of Astounding’ Erotica has been expanded to include 26 stories..
A MOST CURIOUS AFFAIR – THE EROTIC MYSTERIES OF AMBROSE HORNE
Ambrose Horne is the sleuth that society calls upon to unravel the mysteries that delicacy and discretion dare not discuss with anybody else. His adventures include such seemingly unfathomable puzzles as a mysteriously damaged stamp collection, a lost book of the Bible and a plague of ginger-haired children. Behind those simple descriptions, however, and the deductive process that solves them, there lurk secrets and situations to make Sherlock Holmes blanche before even donning his deerstalker.
Littered with arcane historical observations, fascinating period trivia and spellbinding XXX sex, 16 genuine mysteries step far from the detecting norm. From the idiosyncratic manner in which Horne contemplates the matter at hand, to the unconventional means by which he concludes every case, Horne’s adventures are exhilarating excursions into a world that is as far removed from the typical view of Victorian England as it is possible to journey.
Yet it is equally easy to believe that both Horne and his memoirs really are genuine survivors of an age in which the merest glimpse of a lady’s bare ankle was sufficient to morally bankrupt a passing gentleman, suppressed for so long that society itself had forgotten him. Now he is back and he discusses a lot more than mere ankles.
First published in three volumes in 2010 as The Erotic Adventures Of Ambrose Horne, The Erotic Return of Ambrose Horne and The Erotic Memoirs of Ambrose Horne. First collected in newly revised form as The Complete Adventures of Ambrose Horne in 2015. This new revised edition contains two previously unpublished stories.
THE GIRL IN THE DOORWAY – LIFE, SEX AND SURVIVAL ON THE STREETS OF THE CITY
“The funny thing is, I never really thought of myself as homeless. I was just waiting to get back on my feet again. But… well, as you can see, I never did.”
Originally published in 2014 and unavailable since 2017, The Girl In The Doorway is the hard-hitting story of one woman’s life on the streets… of getting by… of surviving… and ultimately finding her way back onto her feet.
SOHO BLUE – SHOOTING SEX FILMS IN THE SIXTIES
In London in the 1960s, pornography was a man’s world.It was viewed by men, written by men, directed by men and filmed by men. If they hadn’t needed actresses to play a part on camera, it would probably have been made by men as well. And then a woman came along, and changed that world completely. This is her story.
The mid-1960s were the golden age of truly underground erotic film making, the last grand flowering of the trade before the progressive liberalization of the arts, the advent of new forms of technology (beginning with the VHS tape), and the mercurial success of the movie Deep Throat transformed a once deeply secretive and self-involved industry into… indeed, a mainstream pursuit.
Soho Blue returns us to those halcyon days; to a gray and overcast landscape of dirty raincoats and secretive doormen, of darkened club rooms and menacing mobsters; and a square mile of seedy businessmen for whom sex films were made for fun as much as finance – at least by the people on either side of the camera.
Semi-fictional, but wholly truthful autobiography, it portrays one of the era’s most prolific film-makers, a XXX novella that could double as a confessional text book, and which pulls no punches in either direction.
Soho Blue was previously published in 2011 as Soho By Spotlight, and in 2023 as Tonight at 8: Behind the Scenes of the London Sex Movie Industry in 2013. It has been out of print since 2017.
