Carrie's Story
An Erotic S/M Novel
by Molly Weatherfield
"I had been Jonathan's slave for about a year when he told me he wanted to sell me at an auction. I wasn't in any condition to respond when he told me this..."
So begins Carrie's tale of uncompromising sexual adventure. Imagine the Story of O starring a Berkeley PhD in comparative lit (who moonlights as a bike messenger) with a penchant for irony, self-analysis, and anal sex. Set in San Francisco and the Napa Valley, Carrie's Story takes the reader on a sexually explicit journey into a netherworld of slave auctions, training regimes, and human "ponies" preening for dressage competitions.
******
Molly Weatherfield's S/M novel Carrie's Story has become a classic erotic tale, often compared to The Story of O and Anne Rice's Beauty trilogy. Readers and aficionados of sadomasochistic literature frequently list Carrie's Story as one of the most original, intelligent and authentic novels ever written on the subject. Susie Bright calls Molly Weatherfield, ""My favorite neo-Victorian erotic romance writer..."
What is it about Carrie's Story that makes it such a standout in the genre? What is the appeal of S/M fiction from the submissive's perspective? Is there such a thing as an authentic S/M story when experience and sexuality is so personal and individual?
If this is the first erotic novel you've read, what did you think? Was it more or less enjoyable than the erotica anthologies we've been discussing in recent months? Were you able to identify with Carrie better because of the length of the story?
As always, everyone is welcome to join in the discussion, whether you've read the book or not! If you are curious about S/M fiction or an expert on the genre, come by for a fun and lively chat that is sure to leave you with a list of must-read books and a smile on your face!
