Kuntalini by Tamara Faith Berger is one of the New Lovers, a series of short erotic fiction published by Badlands Unlimited. Inspired by Maurice Girodias’ legendary Olympia Press, New Lovers features the raw and uncut writings of authors new to the erotic romance genre. Each story has its own unique take on relationships, intimacy, and sex, as well as the complexities that bedevil contemporary life and culture today.
Each novella in the New Lovers series is an independent story of about 12,000 – 18,000 words in length. Kuntalini is a rollicking, breathless plunge into a young woman's psyche as she gets brought closer and closer to the brink of a new kind of epiphany.'
The design of New Lovers pays homage to the classic covers of the books published by Olympia Press. The “soft-touch” lamination and embossed lettering on the front covers of the paperback editions make these novellas a precious edition to any library. The editions feature special colour endpaper artworks by Paul Chan.
