Caraway, best known for the Kiss Me Quick's Erotica Podcast, invokes her role as the Sexy Librarian to bring together 22 erotic stories that range freely over a multitude of genres and styles. She takes the premise one step further by prefacing every selection with a title card reminiscent of library card catalogs. "Book Swap" by Rachel Kramer Bussel is listed under the BDSM category, with the subjects of Bratty Sub, Airplane, and Spanking. Readers will know ahead of time whether they're in for Greek mythology (Janine Ashbless's "Three Legs in the Evening"), Romance (Chase Morgan's "The Secret Game"), Fantasy/Horror (Kristina Wright's "Vivi and the Magic Man"). While the selections vary wildly in tone and theme, they're almost uniformly hot; sensuality, playfulness, indulgence and exploration abound, as do fantasies fulfilled and appetites satiated. Every story is worth mentioning, but standouts include "Sensate Silicone" by Lillian Douglas, in which a porn star tests out a prosthetic dildo that grants full sensation; Lynn Townsend's voyeuristic "Full-Frontal Neighbor"; and Michael Lewis's playful "The Contest." The selections are overwhelmingly heterosexual with a few lesbian encounters, but the wide range of stories means there's a little something for nearly everyone, and very little will disappoint.

Rose Caraway is a librarian on a very sexy mission and the library she's created carries as many diverse stories as any library I've ever entered (and I've been in a few) but with a twist. All the stories should come with a warning stating that they are dangerously sexy. This book might only contain 22 stories, but these are the types of stories that all libraries should carry in my book. -Clitical-- "Reviews"

Cleis remains a prolific publisher of diverse, enjoyable erotic anthologies, and this collection of literary lust is not to be missed. The structure alone is worth a perusal, with each submission sporting a catalog card display that serves as both a cheeky homage to librarians and a handy summary (i.e., Lynn Townsend's "Full Frontal Neighbor" falls under category: Romantic Hero, subject: 1. Exhibition 2. Trauma 3. Curvaceous). Big Book kicks off with seasoned erotica author Rachel Kramer Bussel's "Book Swap," in which an older woman meets her kinky match in a curious younger seatmate on her flight. Many contributions draw on bibliophiles' favorites—mythology and fairy tales—such as Janine Ashbless's tale of Oedipus sharing the "whole" story, and much more, with a beautiful stranger ("Three Legs in the Evening"), or Emily Bingham's "A Perverted Fairy Tale," which puts a fantastically wicked twist on Little Red Riding Hood and her big, bad wolf. The tone ranges from fun and frothy (Tamsin Flowers's "Pow! It's Shibari Girl" simultaneously plays on the superhero genre and provides a healthy dose of erotic rope play), while others take a darker turn. "The Whole of Me," by Katya Harris, depicts an alternate world where memories can be digitized and downloaded, a mechanism the grieving Shaun uses to keep his dead wife alive in his own mind, to his detriment. Three women share a mysterious love from the beyond (or possibly from above) in Angela Caperton's delightfully spooky "Mikhael." VERDICT With a wide array of bombastic, bookish stories, this anthology would do well in any erotica collection.
