Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The stories and essays contained within may tickle the libido at times, but it’s the mind they spike. " Volume 2 contains stories, essays, memoirs and dialogues about art, imagination & the erotic life. In this Scheherazadian story cycle, a young man writes a series of erotic tales, and his bookish friend Lisa offers light-hearted critiques of them. Some stories feel like erotic meditations or random erotic moments in a young man's life. Others start with far-fetched (but deliciously erotic) premises and explore them in realistic ways. Other stories show characters haunted by erotic obsessions or searching for beauty in unlikely places. Stories in Volume 2 are somewhat darker & more intense than those in Volume 1. A woman is brought to a Barcelona hotel with the opportunity to act out an erotic fantasy. A middle-aged man remembers past encounters with women which almost led to seduction. A husband and wife pick imaginary lovers at an outdoor festival. A brainy student and her boyfriend go to a party and learn about the sex lives of their friends. A man searches for erotic companionship in a virtual world called Supersex 3000. A man has the opportunity to seduce a mysterious woman, but can never know what she actually looks like. As a bonus, this ebook contains sexy illustrations and 2 erotic essays ("Notes on Cafe Flesh" and "Important Questions about Erotica"). Hapax Legomenon is a pseudonym for a U.S. author who has been publishing artsy erotica for several decades. Stories in this collection can be read in any order, and it is not necessary to read volume 1 beforehand. Jane’s Guide said that “these stories will be most popular with those who enjoy literary titillation served up with intellectual debate.” Another reviewer described the story collection as "exquisite, thoughtful vignettes that individually by turns inspire reflection, evoke startled recognition and collectively offer considerable insight into the tragicomedy that is the constant human search for connection."
