‘Now this is how you write eroticaAnd it’s delicious to read’ Cosmopolitan

‘Gorgeous’ Guardian

‘A sizzling assemblage of top-notch literary fiction’ LA Times

‘Here is sensuality gloriously released from gender, opprobrium, or the constraints of flesh’ TLS

‘An early contender for the steamiest book of the year’ Popsugar

‘The building tension in “History Lesson” overwhelmed me so much I needed to pause in the middle to relieve some tension of my own… The updated variation on “Rapunzel” [is] so horny Anne Rice is weeping with pride in the afterlife… As with a casual tryst, the best part of this book is the anonymity; the promise of no strings attached… the thrill is in taking a chance on the unknown’ New York Times

‘Whether it’s the guessing game or the erotica that draws you in, Anonymous Sex has something for everyone’ i-D

‘An anthology in the form of a parlor game, Anonymous Sex invites readers into the imaginations of some our best novelists, letting us marvel at their talents and desires while wondering who wrote what and if it even matters. A book of pleasures and secrets—and great fun to read’ David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife

‘There's the thrilling, the melancholic, the lonely, the attached – and even the supernatural. Yet the actual sex that the anthology centers is spliced between musings on seduction, sexuality, relationships, desire, and unbridled human emotion. In each story, though, there's an overwhelming message of sex positivity, bolstered by a space free of judgement’ Mashable
