The corset. Rarely has any garment held such allure, such mystery, so attraction for men and women alike. From a simple foundation garment to a fashion statement all its own, the corset has held the imagination for centuries. This collection of stories from some of the brightest fantasy writers in the world run the gamut from steampunk to horror, from steamy romance to weird western, from victorian thriller to contemporary bondage. But they all feature one thing in common - the corset. From vampire comedy to steampunk action to BDSM, Cinched is certain to free your mind. What else will follow? Featuring stories by: John G. Hartness Gail Z. Martin & Larry N. Martin Misty Massey Emily Lavin Leverett Kimberly Richardson Sarah Joy Adams MB Weston Herika Raymer Dave Harlequin RD Stevens Andrea Judy Nico Serene Eden Royce
