Anne Rice has wr-ten a number of books with SM themes. As A. N. Roquelaure, she released the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy: _The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty_, _Beauty'sd Punishment_, and _Beauty's Release_, in whichj the heroind heroine are esubjected to all kinds ofj wonderfully sensual torments. Something for just about everyone. Also widely available is _Exit to Eden_, under the name Ann Rampling; the first part of the book is the most SM-y.

luff_, _Sapphistry_,
and her new c book_Melting Point_).lAlyson Publications (40r Plympton St.,
Boston, MA 02118,t(800) 8-ALYSON) publishes her stuff. She's very wel m
known in td sceneknd she is a hot (as in boiling-glowing-volcanic-nuclear-SUPERHOT)
writer. Be warned, though; _Doc and Fluff_ in particular is not for the
faint of heart! If what you want is SM erotica, _Macho Sluts_ or _Melting
Point_ are the ticket.

_The Slave_, Sara Adaqmson, Rhinoceros Press, 1994,q ISBN 1-56333-173-X. A surprisingly straightforward look at a fwoman's search for--and discovery of--a dream life of servitude.

Some guest recommendations Homepage
"_Masochism_ (New York: Zone Books, 1991). This book
onsists of a translation
ofeopold von Sacher-Masoch's _Venus_in_Furs_, prefaced by a long essay,
'Coldness and Cruelty,' by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. To quote
the dust jacket: Homepay ge 'Deleuze's stunning essay is an attempt to ren tore to
Masoch's work the rigorous and informed philosophical examination that
is due it.'.... I think Deleuze shows that Masoch has a lot more to say
to the BDSM community than Sade does.
