I will admit that I have been enjoying these shorter Anthologies that have been put together by Alex Algren and the wonderful people over at Cleis Press. If you follow my reviews you will know that I recently read and reviewed, Stories Of O, which was short but very sweet as you can find out by reading my review HERE.

So I was pleased when I was asked to read this new anthology and all but jumped at the chance, especially when I saw the list of authors for this one. I am the first to tell anyone that asks about Submission, as a subject, I know very little about it. I’ve never really considered it my, ‘thing’ at least in real life, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good story that revolves around the subject. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. So I settled down one night and began to read this new anthology.

The first story is titled: Truss Issues and is penned by Lux Zakari. As the title suggests this is a story about being tied up for the first time, but as I was soon to discover as I read, it’s about much more than that. It’s about trust, and this happens to be a reoccurring theme throughout the book.
