Description: Verdant virgins & lush lotharios await readers in these strange yet sensual stories about men and vegetation. Fantastical fronds cannot resist caressing warm flesh. Creatures of myth protecting the forest; botanical lab experiments run amok; a veteran of the Mexican-American war finds himself entranced by an aesthete's poisonous garden.
Brief description: Steve Berman has edited more queer and weird anthologies than any other man alive. He grew up in New Jersey, which happens to be the Garden State.
Review Quotes:
"Since the collection is billed as erotica, you'd expect lots of sex between men and plants and you'd be right. The variety of scenarios in which these deeds are done, however, is pretty damned astonishing. From the boy who has sex with a forest spirit to cure his ill sister (Evey Brett's "Guardian of the Grove") to your basic fucking-a-plant-to-make-it-grow tale (Dale Cameron Lowry's "Darling Proktiphallus") to Keith Glaeske's lyrical yet still erotic "Jack Pine," creativity abounds." - Out in Print
