Product Description
Product Description
Catherine Lundoff is one of the most imaginative lesbian writers working today. Her daydreams have been published in many anthologies. Her stories combine passion with the weirdness of speculative fiction. In Crave, Catherine has collected fifteen of her most recent tales. From the howls of lycanthropic desire offered by the "Leader of the Pack" to lust and larcenry in "Heart's Thief," these stories will bewitch and entice women.

A Wide Range of Pleasures
5 May 2007
Format:Paperback
I've enjoyed this author's work often, in multiple volumes of BEST LESBIAN EROTICA and many other anthologies of erotica and speculative fiction, but she still manages to amaze me with the range and depth of her imagination.
As I read the book, I kept thinking "This story's my favorite--no, this one," and eventually found it hard to even to choose one science fiction, one fantasy, and one "real world" piece to rank over the others. There are so many good ones. I did especially enjoy the futuristic "The Old Spies Club", the medieval fantasy "By the Winding Mere", the surreal--or is it?--"Emily Says", and the poignantly realistic "An Evening in Esteli". On my next reading, though, I could just as easily pick out others. CRAVE is definitely a book worth reading, and rereading.

Beautiful stories of the love women share
15 May 2008
Format:Paperback
I have yet to read something by Catherine Lundoff and not be left spellbound. She breathes life into her characters and makes you feel the same passion, lust, and yearning that they do. Do not hesitate to pick up this latest book by a truly talented author.

Uneven in quality, but plenty of sex
13 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
Crave: Tales of Lust, Love and Longing is a collection of fifteen short stories of erotic encounters. They span different periods in history and cover a variety of topics. The reader will learn about new uses for strawberries and chocolate sauce, the joys of multiple simultaneous partners or anonymous sex and the prowess of women warriors. There are also cautionary tales about the dangers of sexual addiction, imaginary lovers and straight women who want to experiment. There are a few stories that stand out from the rest. For those who like the supernatural, "Leader of the Pack" is about werewolves and the ties that bind one of the pack to the ultimate alpha female. Suspense lovers will enjoy "The Old Spies Club," where old Cold War enemies get to test all of their skills one more time. "Medusa's Touch" takes science fiction to a place where sensory suits have given a whole new meaning to personal relationships. "Wage Slave" deals with sex in the work place and "Heart's Thief" is the story of a thief who ends up stealing more than she planned on.
This is a book dedicated to erotica. If the reader isn't interested in sex in all of its manifestations, including "kink," the book will have limited appeal. Like any anthology, the stories aren't uniform in quality. Some are well written and really don't need the sex scenes to make them interesting. Others obviously only exist to showcase various sexual activities and would have been as effective simply describing those actions and not worrying with trying to wrap stories around them. At some points the stories verge on being boring, but the well written ones are sprinkled in at appropriate intervals to counteract the effect. For readers who need a shot of adrenaline or who enjoy reading about sex, sex, and more sex, this is definitely the book. Those who are looking for more depth to their stories may want to keep looking
