Kinkorama: Dispatches from the Front Lines of Perversion

If "Cabaret"'s twisted emcee had earned a degree in sociology, he might very well have turned out a book like Simon Sheppard's brilliantly conceived and executed "Kinkorama." A noted erotic writer, Sheppard reveals the sometimes shocking, often hilarious, relentlessly arousing scenarios of extreme sex. Would you like to meet a foot fetishist? How about a guy in diapers? A leather master and his slave? Sheppard's journey embraces them all. The people he meets splash across the pages in Technicolor prose that places readers in the center of the action before safely leading them home again.Simon Sheppard is a sex-advice -columnist and erotic writer from San Francisco. He was coeditor of the notorious anthologies Rough Stuff and "Roughed Up" and is the author of "Hotter Than Hell."
