Aqua Erotica

Mary Anne Mohanraj, editor of the new book Aqua Erotica[Wiki], has been obsessing over it (scroll down to the 22nd) in her diary. I ordered it from my local bookstore (because I'm a good citizen of my community), and haven't had a chance to read much, but what I've read thus far has been pretty predictable, I like Thomas S. Roche and Carol Queen, but Poppy Z. Brite just leaves me limp, mainly because I don't think death is erotic. There may be something more, though, I find that writing like Debra Hyde's diary entries manage to communicate the effect of the "kinks" on her, whereas a lot of the current wave of erotica seems to expect that description of the kinks alone suffices. The writers I most connect with manage the former. Anyway, unlike others, I haven't found the waterproofness or the small type off-putting, and I've enjoyed a few of the stories, but I'm still seeking that editor who manages to collect the stories that really match my kinks.
