From the Back: Kink is a dynamic anthology of literary fiction that opens an imaginative door into the world of desire. The stories within portray love, longing, BDSM, and sexual kinks in all their glory from some of today's most celebrated and acclaimed writers. While these stories surprise and delight, their true power lies in their beautiful, moving dispatches from across the sexual spectrum of interests. Kink embraces and celebrates sexuality with a bold new vision.

Personal Thoughts: I picked up this book because as a queer clergy member and someone who is claiming to want to be a support for that community, I think it is important that I learn about all walks of life, not just the ones already familiar to me. Broaden my knowledge, so it were. Not that people in the kink community are necessarily in the queer community, but being open to what are bodies are capable of and where people find relationship with each other is important. As well, these stories are love stories, also something that is truly important in our lives.

    This book contains several short stories with some very specific types of kinks. As I would imagine with many things, there were some stories I enjoyed, and others not so much. However, most of the stories in this book were well-written and entertaining. A book of kink love stories will not be for everyone, but I call on you to consider widening your scope, if you've never entered into this world before, and this book is an easy entry point.
