'If porn were mainstream, if Dickens had written "The sale of two titties", Wells had penned "The whore of the worlds", and Shakespeare had staged "Porneo and Juliet", then - rather than being a virtually-unknown naughty niche - Miss Amalova would be a national treasure.'
Unfortunately, society was not then ready for such sexual graphicality, and - even more unfortunately - neither is it still. And so, dear reader, you must furtively scrabble beneath virtual counters for her works and hide them behind a complex array of passwords on your trusty e-reader. And that's a shame. For there is much the world could glean from Alexandra's sordid set pieces; much, much more than the genre would suggest.
Miss Amalova has previously cared to compile seven compendiums of concise erotica; an illustrated book of pervy poetry, a naughty novella, and a six-part sexy sci-fi saga - The Inversion Chronicles - have added to her impressive catalogue of published works.. A relatively new project entitled 'Love thy neighbour', a series of sexy stories set in a street much like yours, has recently been completed and is available here in a single very juicy volume.
A now legal and long-term resident of her beloved UK, the author shares her first-floor flat with two and a half stuffed cats, an overflowing wash basket and an empty fridge and is still somehow somewhat under thirty.

Serie
Alexandra Amalova's erotic anthologies
|
In 'Whatever happened to my teacher?' the beauty of Alexandra's prose once again belies the often dark and dangerous themes. Interspersed between the four chapters of the central story that lends the collection its name, are seven enlightening tales in which one or more of the characters receives shocking self-knowledge in sexually-charged epiphanic events. Follow them as they are tempted and taunted by their weaknesses, and applaud them as - more often than not - they rise above their base instincts and thus arrive at new levels of self-awareness.
The stories:
Whatever happened to my teacher? Lesson I
While enjoying a colleague's stag night, Lewis realises the cavorting foul-mouthed drunk on the dance floor is his old biology teacher, the once demure and attractive Mrs. Cheetham.

Whatever happened to my teacher? Lesson II

Whatever happened to my teacher? Lesson III
Cleaning up
A writer's journey is of infinite steps and starts with a single word. Typically - and usually deservedly - that word is 'Rejection'. However, we stumble onwards and, by degrees, approach our impossible destination. Please give this particular stumbling hack a chance: under the auspices of his attractive cleaner, his spelling, grammar, style and ambition improve with every paragraph.
The treachery of images
A chance meeting in an art gallery gives a thoughtful teenager an opportunity to explore the limits of self-expression.
