Valentine's Day Premiere of EoS Publishing House
It used to be like that
“Let me go,” she hissed, clenching her hands into fists.
“No,” his voice was velvet and steel at once. “I didn’t win you over to let you escape now.”
Her breath became shallow as his fingers brushed the line of her jaw. She should have been afraid, should have been defensive... but her body was betraying her with every passing moment. No one had ever looked at her like that before.
“You’re mine, whether you like it or not,” he said quietly, leaning closer.
Strong, right? Your grandmother might have thought so too ;) Because it's a fragment of the romance "The Innocent Seductress" by Johanna Lindsey. A top item on many shelves in the 90s.
It is possible that it still sits proudly on the shelves of many a wall unit, telling a tender story of a damsel in distress who is kidnapped by an enemy of her clan, and tensions arise between them.
Only times have changed, and the fashion for harlequins has slowly passed, because the content that our grandmothers sighed for will sooner make us shiver with embarrassment than make our cheeks blush.
And now… Something new is coming
I've mentioned the newly-born EoS publishing house a few times, with which I have the great pleasure of working. EoS, or "Edge of Sanity". And it might seem that starting a niche publishing house with erotica borders on madness, but no!
The girls want to disenchant the erotic genre. They show the world of controversial fantasies, but also the world where the last romantics walk. Erotica is not obvious and will never be black and white. It is full of diversity: different needs, desires, different bodies and various forms of relationships. They create and reflect the reading tastes by showing ambitious, body-positive and caressing erotic literature.
Valentine's Day premiere!
And the post is not created without reason! Tomorrow, 14.02.2025, the light of day, or rather the slight twilight of the night lamp, will see the light of day, or rather the slight twilight of the night lamp. I will immodestly boast that I have already had the pleasure of reading them and, above all, they impressed me with their diversity. I mean both the subject matter, style, and "intensity". From vanilla light and romantic texts to stronger BDSM climates and eco-sexual fragments! There was also ordinariness, mundane problems with which many a reader can identify.
How to read?
The stories are assigned to three areas – boundaries: dream, madness and error.
Here I will allow myself to quote what the authors write about individual areas:
On the border of sleep and reality , of what is day and night - our desires are activated, not always fully conscious. In this section, we offer you erotica served in a subtle and unobtrusive way. These will be stories full of feelings and emotions, showing how to play with sex and derive pleasure from it. Erotica on the border of sleep will take you on a journey through multi-sensuality, body positivity, self-awareness. Sometimes it is safe, warm and soft here, and sometimes something will hurt, sting, surprise us.
On the border of madness , between the sacred and the profane, it can be risky: it is often a journey into the unknown, beyond the comfort zone. These are irritating desires, pushed to the peripheries of our mind. In this section, which refers directly to the name of our entire project - Edge of Sanity - you will get to know erotica, which you can reach for when you want more. This is erotica, which is a challenge and liberation from the usual patterns.
The stories in the On the Edge of Error section are an invitation to descend into a symbolic basement: the dark and therefore appealing side of eroticism. Fetishes, places and situations where pleasure mixes with pain, and desire can be dangerous. It is a dance on the edge of (o)madness. Maybe your shadow lives here, which you would rather never meet? On the other hand, at the bottom of a damp basement cave, the greatest pleasure may await – a reward for the persistent.
The new version of erotica offered by EoS is something that today's world needs - subtlety, diversity, understanding and openness to all forms of desire. Erotica is a space for self-discovery, fun and expressing the deepest emotions. And "Nine Expeditions to the Borders" is just the beginning of a new journey that will surely surprise, move and change the perspective on erotic literature. It's time for something fresh, authentic and full of passion, which speaks about ourselves, our desires and fantasies.
Are you ready for an expedition that will go beyond the boundaries of what you know?
“Nine Expeditions to the Borders” can be downloaded from tomorrow on the EoS website and in the Empik, Virtualo and Legimi digital stores.
