Carnal Machines is a collection of short stories by various authors and is edited by D. L. King. There are 14 stories in this steamy book, and each is just as erotic as the next. The idea of the repressed sexuality of the Victorian Age being released in such mechanical ways is very hot indeed.

One of my favorites is Deviant Devices by Keenan Feng. It is the tale of a woman hired to be fucked by a mechanical machine for an unseen audience. It is just one example of the sexy, steam-powered devices that are used to perfection in many of the stories. The characters run the gamut from doctors and scientists all the way to slaves and prostitutes. It is just all corsets and petticoats, button-fly tweed pants and starched collars, steam-powered dildos and machines of all types. There is straight sex, male on male, female on female, pegging, bondage, spanking... all the things that make the Victorian Era fun!

The cover is quite low-key, so you could take it to work with you to read on a break or to the park to read while sitting on a bench. The stories are all pretty short, so you could probably easily read one at lunch. But I warn you... you are going to end up so turned on by the stories that you risk detection! Better to read it in a place where you can satisfy any lusty thoughts that these stories may bring up.
