Secret Sex

Edited by: Russell Smith

New risky fiction ? with no names attached.

If authors could write their sex scenes anonymously, would they be less reticent? Would they include the stuff they didn?t want their mom, or the newspapers, to read?

Here are twenty-four original short pieces of fiction on the theme of sex, by twenty-four prominent authors living in Canada. Heather O?Neill, Lisa Moore, Michael Winter, Zoe Whittall, Pasha Malla, francesca ekwuyasi, Drew Hayden Taylor, Tamara Faith Berger, and Susan Swan are among these. But we won?t tell you who wrote what.

The pieces are uncensored, unpredictable; they veer from graphic to subtle to surreal. There is straight sex and gay sex. There is frustrated sex. There is sex that happens entirely through text messages. Secret Sex is a book of erotic imaginings by some of Canada?s most sophisticated and respected writers, working in total freedom, secretly.

Featuring Angie Abdou, Jean-Marc Ah-Sen, Tamara Faith Berger, Jowita Bydlowska, Xaiver Campbell, K.S. Covert, francesca ekwuyasi, Anna Fitzpatrick, Drew Hayden Taylor, Victoria Hetherington, Marni Jackson, Andrew Kaufman, Michael LaPointe, Pasha Malla, Sophie McCreesh, Lisa Moore, Heather O?Neill, Lee Suksi, Susan Swan, Heidi von Palleske, Aley Waterman, Zoe Whittall, David Whitton, Michael Winter

Reviews

At turns funny, often tinged with sadness, each story explores the messiness of pleasure and the struggle to live our dirtiest, filthiest lives in a world that would prefer we keep it secret. A fun and sexy read.
– Julie S. Lalonde, author of Resilience is Futile

An ingenious collection of thoroughly entertaining and erotic stories with something for everyone to get excited about.
– Tracey Cox, bestselling author and host of the award-winning podcast SexTok

An exciting and sexy read sure to fuel many kinds of fantasies.
– Tynomi Banks, drag superstar
