The porn anthology

My newest book is soon out. It's an anthology of porn and sex short stories, most of them having been published previously in porn mags or other venues of that sort. The stuff is mostly from the seventies, but there are also some stories from the sixties, one or two from the nineties. There are also some previously unpublished stories, an excerpt of a coming novel and a story written for this book (the one by Kirsti Ellilä).

The eighties were left out unintentionally. I had a short story by a renowned Finnish author in mind, but his widow refused the reprint rights - for totally understandable reasons, which I'm not at liberty to discuss; so I won't even name the author, even though he'd signed the story under his own name. I also thought at first that the frenzied story by Kari Nenonen (who's best known for his horror) came out in the eighties, but it's from 1992 (which represents the end of the eighties to me, in many ways).

The book will be out later this month. I'll keep you posted. Here's the table of contents (in Finnish):
