I was only two thirds finished with Black Satin when I started writing this review. I needed to give my eyes a rest because I hadn't been able to put the book down since I pulled it up on my kindle two & a half hours ago. Full disclosure: I'm fan of the Black's work and I already thought he was a master of the short story genre. However I only read some of his work so I had no idea that he could use his powers as a raconteur for good in this dazzling way. What do I mean good? Simple. Black Satin is without a doubt, very sexy and very provocative, but each story is also unique and believable on every level. That means whatever titillating anecdote you're reading and yes, every single story will evoke that reaction, you will identify with the characters and therefore be able to see remnants of yourself or perhaps someone you, well..you know...somewhere in the story.  On that note, I wish I'd read the promo blurb about not reading this book alone before I started it.  Sigh...maybe next time.
