The Wave is Still Coming


So this 50 Shades of Grey craze continues to explode. My sister-in-law (who doesn't have time to read in her busy life) is now carving out some precious minutes to read this trilogy. These books are EVERYWHERE!

So I'm doing my usual surfing around this morning and what do I stumble upon? Several erotic books jumping into the waters and riding EL James's wave of success. It's not plagiarism. It's commercialism. And if I could write fast enough (or had thought of it), I totally would be grabbing my bathing suit (though I didn't say I'd actually put it on) and jumping into these waters as well. Doing a parody of someone else's work seems to be "in". I haven't read anymore than the sample and the reviews of the following books, but I'm thinking of picking up the first. It looks hot ... and rather amusing. Frankly, I'm thinking of buying it just for the cover art!

50 Shades of Alice in Wonderland
BEYOND 50 SHADES OF GREY...
Eighteen-year-old Alice is unhappy. Her boyfriend is nice and polite, but he's also quick and careless in bed, and doesn't give Alice the attention and variety she craves. But he's not entirely to blame, because Alice herself doesn't understand her own needs. She's heard about what sex is supposed to be like, but has never felt anything remotely close to what she's read about in runaway bestselling books.

BEYOND 9 1/2 WEEKS...
Then Alice follows a vibrating white rabbit down a deep, dark hole, which leads to a place beyond her wildest imagination. There are no nice boys--or girls--down here. Only those who indulge in secret, forbidden, kinky fantasies.

BEYOND PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES...
Alice is confused and frightened and... aroused. She is bound. Teased. Spanked. Toyed. Brought to the limits of sexual endurance. And during her trials, she begins to understand her body's needs for the very first time.

BEYOND THUNDERDOME...
This isn't the fairy tale you grew up reading. This isn't for children at all.

This is for those with dark desires, who wish to explore erotic excess beyond the plain vanilla of everyday life. Follow Alice down the rabbit hole, if you dare...

Fifty Shades of Alice in Wonderland is slightly longer than the Lewis Carroll version, roughly 32,000 words or 115 paper pages long. Melinda DuChamp is the pen name of bestselling author who has written over 50 novels, mostly romance.

50 Shades of Silver Hair and Socks
When old fart blogger Mormon Silver goes to interview young entrepreneur Bea Plastique, he encounters a woman who is stunning, smart, and scary. The unsophisticated, horny Silver is startled to realize he wants this woman (from behind, mostly) and, despite her mysterious love of ice hockey, finds he is desperate to get close to her (and honk her boobies). Unable to resist Silver's oral skills, silver chin fur, and argyle socks, Plastique admits she wants him, too--but on her own terms.

Stunned yet delighted by Plastique's kinkiness, Silver hesitates. For all of her success--her multinational assortment of lubricants, her gay assistant, her condo on a high floor (I mean, really high--you're almost above the clouds, for Christ's sake)--Plastique is a woman haunted by her past and consumed by the need to have hockey-related sex. When the couple embarks on a bold, twisted physical affair, Mormon discovers Bea Plastique's secrets (including a naughty uncle) and explores his own icky, sticky desires.

Silly, sexy, and deeply disturbing, Fifty Shades of Silver Hair and Socks is a tale that will make you horny, tickle you, and give you some great ideas to try on an unsuspecting lover.
(And this one comes in a full trilogy!)


50 Shades of Red Riding Hood
It was a romance that the world would never understand. He was a big bad wolf; she was just a young woman with no self-respect.

Little Red Riding Hood knows it’s wrong. She knows their needs would never match. Yet she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Mr Wolf and his ‘specific tastes’.

Repetitive, badly written and poorly edited, ‘Fifty Shades of Red Riding Hood’ has all the ingredients necessary to become a runaway success.

This is a short story with only 6500 words, but geez, these words are freaking hot!
(Definitely a parody with several typos and bad editing!)

So what do you think? Worth checking out? Does it give you any ideas of other books you'd like to see?

Sandy said...

Hilarious, Nina. Is bad writing becoming the latest craze though?

The cover for Alice just makes me want to laugh.

Loved those covers. Hate all this fuss about essentially bad writing though. Thanks for making me see the humorous side...

Erotic versions of children's stories - as long as kids don't confuse these with THEIR versions, sounds okay.
Alice's cover is hilarious!
