 "What I truly crave is the feeling of being exposed. Exposed for what I want. Exposed for who I really am. I reveal a little too much, and then duck back undercover, hiding out in safety until the need consumes me yet again. I tell secrets, but change the names. I make up locations, but reveal my emotions. I wrap my truth up in lies, spreading my stories thin, so thin that you can see the real me if you look closely enough. If you take the time to really see.
— Alison Tyler, from the introduction
Called a ”trollop with a laptop,” Alison Tyler is a pioneer of a kind of erotica that’s at once arousing and sophisticated, playful and explicit. A prolific author and editor in the field, with 20 novels, 20 anthologies, and more than 400 short stories to her credit, Tyler here assembles her very best short fiction. In Exposed, she spotlights women in their most vulnerable erotic moods and moments, often filigreed with humor.
These stories cover the span of her career, from her first published effort (“Untouched”) to her latest (“Well Trained”). In “Ten Minutes in the Eighties,” a nervous virgin unleashes her inner hussy,
surprising her first pickup — and herself. In “Blades,” a sexy klepto gets a happy shock when the saleswoman at the knife counter discovers her secret, and takes her home for punishment. In “The Last Deduction,” dominatrix Nadine finds delightful new uses for her nastiest tools — dildo, whip, and handcuffs — when she’s audited by the IRS.
