    Like classic 1950s pulp fiction, The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories depicts forbidden same-sex love and all its titillating temptation. Eight stories are set in different periods of history,from the Stonewall Riots to Dustbowl Depression. Each involves a girl, a horse and womanly attraction. Clearly a spoof on the pulp genre, with racy cover art and the enticing line, "When these Sapphic sisters saddle up, ecstasy if only a hoofbeat away!" This book promises to be a sexy romp around the stable. Unfortunately, the writing inside is not nearly as clever as the cover. It's a fun read, but would have been better with more camp.
