Chain Reaction

Adrian Hunter's anthology of BDSM stories, Chain Reaction, offers a literary glimpse into a world of captivating captives who fall prey to the demeaning demands of their sexual superiors. It's a place where the tightest bonds lead to absolute liberation, where torture stokes the flames of passion, where "slave" is "love" spelled sideways. Chain Reaction offers some of Hunter's most enduring bondage short stories like "Doc.umentary" "Clockwork" and "A Turn of the Page," as well as an excursion into the realm of science fiction, "Liquidity," where young men from a distant world search for a different kind of pleasure from a very familiar source. Dark fantasies like "The Box," "With Friends Like These" and "I, Spy" are balanced by the more romantic aspects of BDSM, like the young wife in "Upon Returning" who is determined to surprise her husband with something more than a birthday blowjob. Once again, Adrian Hunter lays bare the difference between willing and willful, no matter how ambiguous the distinction. Cover photo by PjW/BDMax.
