Making the Hook-Up Edgy Sex with Soul

At last - African American erotica that brings an urban edge to sweet kink. With stories as creative as the soulful simmer of Nina Simone, as urgent as the barely concealed bite of John Lee Hooker and as innovative as the muted moans of the jazz trumpet of Miles Davis, editor Cole Riley has put together a truly unforgettable anthology.

Cole Riley, an innovative voice in urban literature, produced several early street classics: Hot Snake Nights, Rough Trade, The Devil To Pay, The Killing Kind, Dark Blood Moon, and more recently, Harlem Confidential and Guilty As Sin. His erotica has been featured in many anthologies, including Intimacy and Maxim Jakubowski's The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica. In literary legend Ishmael Reed's newest book, Mixing It Up, Riley is cited as one of the influences on top-notch crime scribes Richard Price, George Pelacanos, and others. He lives and writes in New York City.
