Ed. by Gregory Todd. Bold Strokes Books, 2011. Paperback. 259p. $16.95. 978-1-6028256-5-9.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This collection of sixteen short stories combines erotica with divine intervention and love reaching from the beyond.\u00a0Bringing hope to those who have lost loved ones or to those who have lost all hope, these stories inspire and encourage, with a backdrop that borders on the pornographic. Set in present-day or the historic past, realistic or fantastic, they have a common theme of angels or other divine beings coming to Earth to help a despondent male seeking love.<\/p>\n<p>The narratives are strong examples of descriptive writing. The book would benefit from an index or other descriptive listing enabling a reader to quickly locate a story on a specific topic, such as historical fiction, angels or returning from death, lost loved ones, seeking love for one who has never known love, fixing wrongs. or starting new adventures.<\/p>\n<p>Wings would be a welcome addition to libraries collecting erotica or other items of a sexual nature, for an audience of over 18 because of the graphic descriptions of sexual acts.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewer: <strong>s.n.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wings: Subversive Gay Angel Erotica.
