A powerful collection of erotica from today's leading Black writers and fresh voices, Black Silk explores exciting territory in the realm of the African American experience. Edited by Retha Powers, Black Silk is filled with lush, sexy stories featuring heroines who are overwhelmingly in control of their love lives and unabashed about their libidinous appetites. 

From Eric Jerome Dickey's rueful tale of lust to Lolita File's scorching account of insatiable adventuring; Breena Clarke's tribute to the strength of erotic imagination to Camika Spencer's encounters online and in the flesh; this book sings of the power of the forbidden — with unforgettable characters who claim their pleasure and seek its ultimate limits. These erotic short stories are a dazzlingly sensual meditation on the very soul of passion.
