From Our Editors

When Sleeping Beauty is finally rescued by her Prince Charming, she becomes his slave in this erotic retelling of the Sleeping Beauty myth that deals with dominance and submission.

From the Publisher

"Something very special . . . at once so light and yet so haunting." -The AdvocateIn the traditional folktale of "Sleeping Beauty," the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. Now Anne Rice's retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him . . . as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience."Articulate, baroque, and fashionably pornographic." -Playboy

    5 months ago

    The Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice (writing as A.N. Roquelaure) is the first of the Sleeping Beauty trilogy. I found that there was much repetition in the descriptions and the events that occurred - apparently the characters noticed the same thing about different characters, and the similar problems were inflicted on the characters. Thus, I grew tired of reading because of this. I cannot even imagine how much repetition the second and third book will have. This is a book that only… read more

    A different Twist 2

    This book will not be for everyone...it is not your typical bed time story...it is about going beyond the sexual imagination into a place many consider taboo. If you like something more riskier than the Story of O then this is a book for you...but remember that this book has sequels and you will need to buy them to finish the story
