Twelve sexy novels from the 1950s and early 1960s, out of print for decades and now collected in one volume.
Known for their lurid covers and daring themes, these vintage paperbacks pushed taboos around sex, same-sex desire, adultery, exploitation, and female autonomy. Mild by today’s standards, they were provocative in their time. Presented unedited and complete.
The books included are:
THE BAWDY MRS. GREY by Henry Lewis Nixon — A marriage of convenience spirals into greed, lust, and murder.
GINNY by Morton Cooper — Broadway ambition, sexual entanglement, and emotional collapse.
SHADES OF EVIL by Bonnie Golightly — Forbidden lesbian desire beneath Southern respectability.
THREE SHEET by Tiffany Thayer — A touring theater troupe slides into sexual chaos.
PARTY WIVES by Jim Layne — Suburban marriages corroded by infidelity and power games.
THE WIFE SWAPPERS by Bonnie Golightly — Consensual adultery turns volatile.
ONE WOMAN by Tiffany Thayer — A reporter reconstructs a dead woman’s life—and falls in love with the woman she used to be.
LAKE OF FIRE by Lionel Hauser — An inheritance that becomes a brutal ordeal.
THE EAGER ONES by John B. Thompson — Three women pursuing wealth at any cost.
SHAMELESS HONEYMOON by Thomas Stone — Sex, dependency, and escape in Greenwich Village.
KATE by Chet Kinsey — A runaway trapped in blackmail and baby-selling.
AN AMERICAN GIRL by Tiffany Thayer — A Hollywood film shoot in a foreign kingdom spirals into sexual politics, palace intrigue, and revolution.
